Conditions studied: Caregiver, Psychological Impact of Cancer and Its Treatment, Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

This clinical trial studies a palliative care intervention in improving symptom control and quality of life in patients with stage II-IV non-small cell lung cancer and their family caregivers. Palliative care programs can provide patients and their caregivers with information on how to manage their symptoms, maintain health and well-being, and access supportive care services. An interdisciplinary palliative care model may effectively link lung cancer patients to the appropriate supportive care services in a timely fashion.
