详细描述
Study Groups:
If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) to 1 of 2 groups: telephone intervention or standard care. You have an equal chance of being assigned to either group.
No matter which group you are assigned to, you will be asked to tell your doctor and/or nurse about all symptoms you may be experiencing during your regularly scheduled visits. You will also be asked to call your doctor and/or nurse right away when your symptoms are severe. The doctor and/or nurse will give you instructions about calling when your symptoms are severe.
You will receive educational material about emotional distress, sadness, and depression in people who are being treated for cancer. The material also will tell you about community resources that are available for people with cancer.
