Card game aims to ease tough End-of-Life talks for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06795815
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a simple card game, the Go Wish Game, can help people with advanced blood cancers or solid tumors discuss their end-of-life priorities with doctors. About 75 patients will use the cards to sort what matters most to them, then complete an advance care planning document. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable for patients and caregivers.

- Active substance
- Go Wish Game (card-based discussion tool)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, effective way for patients with advanced cancer to clarify their end-of-life wishes and improve communication with doctors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study (75 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is only a conversation tool and does not change medical outcomes.
