Summary
This study tested a website designed to help people with advanced cancer and their family caregivers talk about advance care planning.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a practical online tool that makes it easier for cancer patients and their families to have important conversations about future medical care.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early-stage usability study with only 36 participants. It focused on refining the website design, not on measuring health outcomes, so it's unclear if the tool actually improves care planning.
