Summary

The goal of this research study is to learn about any differences in certain health-related preferences between patients with cancer and their families.

The main preferences being studied are how decisions are made about healthcare, as well as how much information people want to know about cancer.

Specifically, researchers will compare questionnaire and interview data from Hispanic-Americans living in the United States (the M. D. Anderson part of this multicenter study) with Hispanics living in Latin America (in particular, Argentina, Chile, and Guatemala).
