Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
Piloting Pathways With Lung Cancer Patients
Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of a new supportive intervention, called Pathways, for patients with advanced stage and metastatic lung cancer.
Full Description
In this study, investigators will first test the Pathways procedures with 6 patients to identify any improvements that need to be made. Then, investigators will test the feasibility of the Pathways intervention with 20 patients who are undergoing cancer treatment for advanced stage or metastatic lung cancer. Pathways is designed to help patients set and pursue personal goals during lung cancer treatment. In this study, investigators want to see if they can recruit patients with lung cancer who are being treated at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center to participate in the Pathways intervention.
