Addressing Cancer-Related Distress Through Survivorship Care in Community Oncology
Sponsor: Ellis Medicine
Summary
The goal of this study is to understand whether providing a structured survivorship care visit at the beginning of cancer treatment is associated with changes in distress and quality of life in adults with cancer receiving treatment in a community oncology clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is participation in a structured survivorship visit at the start of active treatment associated with changes in psychological distress? * Is participation in the survivorship visit associated with changes in quality of life? Participants will: * Be asked to complete questionnaires about their level of distress and overall quality of life. * Participate in a single survivorship visit with the clinic's Physician Assistant at the Ellis Medical Oncology Clinic. * Complete the same questionnaires again approximately two weeks and one month after the survivorship visit.
