Navigation Support Program for Lung Cancer Patients
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether having a trained lay navigator (a non-medical person who guides you through cancer care) helps lung cancer patients better understand their treatment and manage their care. The navigator helps answer questions, arrange appointments, and connect you with resources.
