Summary

This pilot study tests whether a trained Patient Support Coordinator (PSC) can help women with advanced breast cancer feel more heard and understood. Over three months, 28 participants will have regular supportive listening sessions alongside their usual medical care. The goal is to see if this model is acceptable and feasible in a busy cancer center.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Patient Support Coordinator (PSC)-facilitated supportive listening sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this model could provide a simple, non-clinical way to help patients feel heard and understood during cancer care.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 28 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is supportive, not curative.
