Summary

This study tests a program called 'My Care My Voice' that gives cancer patients and their doctors tools like videos, brochures, and conversation cards to make it easier to talk about palliative care. The goal is to help patients bring up their care needs earlier, so they can get support for symptoms and quality of life while still receiving cancer treatment. The study involves 271 participants and will measure whether patients feel more ready to start these conversations.
