Summary
This study tests a personalized self-management program to help cancer survivors on immune checkpoint inhibitors better handle side effects and reduce anxiety or depression. About 400 adults with breast, colon, lung, skin, or rectal cancer who recently started immunotherapy will take part. Participants will report symptoms weekly and receive guidance to manage them, with the goal of improving quality of life and reducing treatment disruptions.
