Summary

This study tests a telehealth program called ENGAGE for people with stage IV breast, prostate, lung, or colorectal cancer. The program helps manage symptoms like pain, fatigue, and distress that interfere with daily life. About 190 participants will be randomly assigned to ENGAGE or standard supportive care, and their progress will be tracked over 4 months. The goal is to see if this approach improves how patients feel and function.
