Summary

This study is testing a program called Journey Ahead, designed to help women with gynecologic cancers improve their coping and communication skills. The researchers are enrolling 30 women who have been diagnosed with ovarian, endometrial, cervical, or uterine cancer. Participants will receive information and surveys to see if the program reduces depressive symptoms, distress, and improves quality of life.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a practical program to help women with gynecologic cancer feel less distressed and communicate better with their healthcare team.
