Online support for caregivers of head & neck cancer patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests an online support program for people caring for a loved one with head and neck cancer. It aims to see if the program helps caregivers feel less stressed and more supported during the patient's radiotherapy treatment.
