Enhancing Communication between Medical Oncologists and Patients with Advanced Malignancy Considering Clinical Trial Participation, with a focus on CALD populations [ 1/1/2021 - 1/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description In the advanced stages of cancer, some patients will need to choose between multiple options - they might wish to pay for an expensive but unfunded drug, they may consider taking part in a clinical trial or opt to stay at home and focus on the time they have. This project will aim to help patients make these difficult decisions with their clinicians, and will have a focus on those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds as they face additional barriers to trial entry.
