Brief description The study will test the cost-effectiveness of two models of supportive care coordination for advanced cancer against usual care: a Telephone Caseworker model and an Oncologist-GP model. Both models are aimed at improving patients' and their informal caregivers' health and psychosocial status; are patient-centred, evidence based and readily transferable across health care settings. The Telephone Caseworker model has the additional advantage of reaching people isolated through geography, physical disability or age.
