Pathways: A hope program for advanced lung cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a program called 'Pathways' that helps people with advanced lung cancer set personal goals, manage mental health, and improve quality of life. It's for those who are already receiving IV cancer treatment and are feeling some distress.
