Supportive clinic
During the visit, each patient will receive a personalized feedback summary, including an assessment and recommendation on managing physical and psychological symptoms, an evaluation and recommendation on dietary advice, an assessment and recommendation on physical activity, and advice on managing potential psychosocial issues by the multidisciplinary team.
Control: Self-management
Each pamphlet given to the patients addresses one of the 7 most commonly-reported symptoms (sleep difficulties, fatigue, neuropathy, pain, anxiety, depression, and fear of cancer progression) observed in Hong Kong patients with advanced or metastatic cancer, plus two on lifestyle recommendations (physical activity and eating well). All pamphlets are developed based on the self-management framework.
