Video support program for cancer and mild memory problems
Part of Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a video-based, “dyad” (patient plus family caregiver) coaching program for people with cancer and mild memory trouble (mild cognitive impairment). It may help by improving coping and communication during cancer care.
