Recording clinic visits to support cancer patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether recording your clinic visits with your cancer care team helps you remember and understand what was discussed. If you record your visit, the recording may help you review important information later.

This study looks at how cancer care is delivered at MD Anderson, comparing care from your oncology team alone versus adding a specialist palliative care team to help manage symptoms and quality of life. It aims to improve how care is coordinated for people with advanced cancer.
This study tests a mobile health app (PACT) to help people with advanced cancer talk and plan for future care. It may help you and a loved one stay engaged in advance care planning (planning what care you want and who should speak for you).
This study tests whether telephone coaching sessions can help people with advanced cancer and their caregivers talk about and plan for future medical care. You and a support person would join coaching calls together.
This study looks at whether a small change in how doctors use electronic health records can improve how compassionate and professional they seem during your clinic visit. If you join, you would fill out a short survey after your appointment.
This study looks at how physical activity (movement during the day) and a clinician-rated “day-to-day function” score relate to overall survival in people with certain cancers. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from activity-focused care and better monitoring.
This study tests two ways of sharing what happened at clinic visits—recording visits and using an “open notes” patient portal—to help older adults manage long-term health conditions with a better experience. It’s likely to help if you have multiple chronic conditions and can use email or a patient portal.
