First seen Jan 26, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tests whether a telephone counseling program can help people with advanced gastrointestinal cancer and their family caregivers feel better. The program teaches strategies to manage stress and symptoms, and is compared to a standard education and support program. About 488 patient-caregiver pairs will take part in weekly phone sessions over 5 months. The main goals are to reduce how much fatigue interferes with patients' daily life and to lessen caregivers' sense of burden.
