Doctors test new way to talk with parents about Child's cancer care

NCT ID NCT04330833

Summary

This study tested whether a new series of structured meetings between doctors, nurses, and parents could improve care for children with very serious cancer. The meetings, which used visual aids, aimed to help families and medical teams better align on treatment goals from diagnosis onward. Researchers wanted to see if this improved the child's quality of life, reduced stressful medical interventions at the end of life, and helped parents cope.
