Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a new communication intervention, "Values and Options in Cancer Care 2.0" (VOICE 2.0), which involves oncologist training, patient and caregiver coaching, and caregiver support.

The VOICE 2.0 intervention was developed by members of the study team to improve communication among oncologists, patients with cancer, and caregivers. Researchers have found that clear communication about the patient's disease can help with the planning of that patient's future care and improve the well-being of both the patient and his or her caregiver. The long-term goals of developing and testing VOICE 2.0 include improving the care and respecting the wishes of cancer patients, and helping those patients and their caregivers have an improved quality of life during their experience with cancer.
