Summary
This pilot study tests a mobile app called oncpatient designed to help cancer patients navigate radiation therapy. The app provides easy-to-access information about treatment logistics and side effect management. Researchers will enroll 20 adults with cancer who are about to start radiation and will check if they can download and use the app, and how helpful they find it.
