Summary

This study tests a three-part program to increase the use of precision oncology—genetic testing that guides personalized treatment—for veterans with advanced lung or prostate cancer. The program includes a patient education video, feedback to doctors on their testing patterns, and changes to the electronic medical record to simplify ordering genetic tests. Researchers will measure whether more eligible veterans receive genetic testing and, if a targetable mutation is found, whether they go on to receive a matching targeted therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Multilevel intervention (patient education video, provider feedback, and electronic medical record changes)
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could help more veterans receive personalized cancer treatments based on their tumor's genetic profile, potentially improving outcomes.
What could go wrong: This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. It may not show a direct benefit on survival or quality of life, and results may vary across different VA medical centers.
