Social support program for older adults with advanced cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a special program that helps older adults with advanced cancer get support from their friends and family. If you join, you might be assigned to a group that receives this social network support or a group that gets the usual care. The goal is to see if having your loved ones more involved improves your quality of life.
