Comfort items for older adults in cancer treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study explores how offering a comfort menu and cart with extra support items (like blankets, snacks, or activities) can improve the experience of older adults (60+) undergoing cancer treatment at our center. We want to see if these small comforts make a difference in how patients feel during their hospital visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
