Interventions

  • Structured Survivorship Visit — BEHAVIORAL
    A structured survivorship care visit conducted by a trained Physician Assistant during the beginning of active cancer treatment. The visit uses patient-reported distress screening results to guide discussion of psychosocial, physical, practical, and supportive care needs. Counseling, education, care coordination, and referrals may be provided as appropriate within routine clinical practice.

Study Details

The goal of this study is to understand whether providing a structured survivorship care visit at the beginning of cancer treatment is associated with changes in distress and quality of life in adults with cancer receiving treatment in a community oncology clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is participation in a structured survivorship visit at the start of active treatment associated with changes in psychological distress? * Is participation in the survivorship visit associated with changes in quality of life? Participants will: * Be asked to complete questionnaires about their level of distress and overall quality of life. * Participate in a single survivorship visit with the clinic's Physician Assistant at the Ellis Medical Oncology Clinic. * Complete the same questionnaires again approximately two weeks and one month after the survivorship visit.
