Summary

This study tests a program called CARES that provides nurse navigators and counselors to rural cancer patients. The goal is to see if this support helps patients start and finish treatment more quickly and improves their quality of care. About 320 adults with solid tumors like lung, breast, or colon cancer are taking part.
