In brief
This study is testing whether electronic surveys can help patients with advanced cancer report their symptoms and care needs so their doctors can connect them to palliative/supportive care services sooner. The goal is to see if this approach can make it easier for patients to get support for symptoms, quality of life, and other needs during cancer treatment.
