ClinConnect Summary

The Comprehensive Connected Cancer Care (C4) trial is studying a new program designed to help people with cancer navigate their care more effectively. This program focuses on improving communication between patients and healthcare providers and ensuring that patients receive the support they need from community services. It includes training for healthcare teams and offers educational resources that are sensitive to different cultures, helping patients feel more engaged and understood throughout their treatment journey.

To join the trial, participants should be adults aged 65 to 74 who have recently been diagnosed with cancer and have not yet started any treatment, like surgery or radiation. They should also have certain social needs that could affect their healthcare, such as financial concerns or access to resources. Participants can expect to receive personalized support and guidance during their cancer care while helping researchers understand the best ways to improve cancer treatment experiences for everyone. It's important to note that this trial requires participants to be comfortable using the internet, as it plays a key role in the program.
