Evaluating an Interactive Cancer Communication System (ICCS) in Lung Cancer
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Lung Cancer, Stage IIIb or IV
In brief
This study will examine the potential for an Interactive Cancer Communication System (ICCS) to impact not only psychosocial outcomes such as quality of life but also length of survival in an advanced stage lung cancer population. Two hypotheses will be tested: the Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System- Lung Cancer (CHESS- LC) will significantly improve patient quality of life and length of overall survival as compared to a usual care control group.
