Summary

This study looked at whether starting supportive care early, alongside standard cancer treatment, helps patients with metastatic uveal melanoma feel more supported. 162 adults with advanced eye cancer that had spread were randomly assigned to get either standard oncology visits or standard visits plus extra supportive care. The main goal was to see if the extra care reduced their psychological needs after 6 months.
