OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the relationship between disease factors, patient factors, and understanding of the cancer clinical trial, and preferences for decision control in the decision to participate in a cancer clinical trial by patients with stage II-IV pancreatic cancer or stage III-IV colon or rectal cancer.
  • Determine the relationship between disease factors, patient factors, understanding of the cancer clinical trial, and preferences for decision control with satisfaction with the decision to participate in a cancer clinical trial.
  • Determine how quality of life, trust, and hope impact the decision to participate in a cancer clinical trial and the satisfaction with this decision.
