Help for older adults to get better cancer aftercare
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study aims to improve “survivorship care plans,” which are follow-up instructions after chemotherapy, to help older adults feel supported after cancer treatment. You may be able to participate if you’re 65+ and recently finished chemotherapy with the goal of cure and have a plan scheduled with an oncology navigator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
