Team approach eases tough cancer decisions

This study looks at whether adding a meeting with a team that includes an oncologist, a palliative care specialist, and a psychologist can help patients with advanced cancer feel less conflicted about choosing their next treatment. About 62 adults with metastatic lung, breast, colon, ovary, or prostate cancer who need a third line of therapy will be randomly assigned to standard care or the extra team meeting. The goal is to see if more support and information reduces their uncertainty and improves satisfaction.
