Summary

This pilot study offers free legal services to caregivers and patients dealing with advanced colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if early legal support can reduce financial and emotional stress. Twenty patient-caregiver pairs will receive personalized legal help from a nonprofit, and researchers will check if this approach is practical and helpful over three months.
