OncoCHAT (Advanced Solid Cancer)

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to improve how cancer patients and their providers communicate with each other. We want to know how personal biases can affect how cancer care is explained and managed. We think being able to identify bias if any exists can improve care and patients' psychological well-being.
