- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors and families a better tool to understand what matters most to cancer patients, helping tailor support and improve daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct changes in care, and results depend on patients accurately reporting their experiences.
