ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the physical and emotional needs of patients with advanced cancer who are receiving a type of treatment called immunotherapy. Specifically, the study focuses on understanding the challenges these patients face, such as side effects from the treatment, feelings of distress, financial burdens, and overall quality of life. The researchers want to gather information on these issues and develop tools to better support patients during their treatment journey.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have a diagnosed cancer. They should be able to communicate clearly and understand what the study involves. Participants can expect to share their experiences and provide feedback about their health and well-being over a one-year period. This research aims to identify patients who might be at higher risk for more severe side effects or decreased quality of life, helping healthcare providers offer better care and support.
