Summary

This study tested a simple way to help hospitalized patients with advanced lung or gastrointestinal cancers talk about their care goals with their cancer doctors after leaving the hospital. About 80 patients took part, with half completing a short survey about their preferences that was shared with their medical team. The goal was to see if this approach could improve how often these important conversations happen.
