New therapy aims to ease the heavy burden for young cancer patients

NCT ID NCT05593016

Summary

This study developed and tested a new support program designed to help teenagers and young adults (ages 15-29) with advanced cancer better manage their symptoms. The program, delivered over video calls, combined practical symptom management skills with psychological techniques to help patients cope with pain, fatigue, and emotional distress. Researchers tested the program's feasibility and how it affected participants' symptoms and quality of life compared to a basic education group.
