What this trial studies
The Kentucky LEADS Collaborative Lung Cancer Survivorship Care program aims to improve the quality of life for lung cancer survivors through a novel survivorship care approach. This interventional study compares the effectiveness of the program against enhanced usual care in a randomized clinical trial involving 300 lung cancer survivors. The program incorporates patient-centered care principles, shared decision-making, and motivational interviewing to enhance survivor engagement and address the unique challenges faced by lung cancer patients, particularly in rural areas. The study is conducted in collaboration with multiple lung cancer care facilities in Kentucky.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are lung cancer survivors who reside in rural counties and are at least 18 years old.
Not a fit: Patients with significant psychiatric disturbances or substance abuse issues requiring higher levels of care may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance the quality of life for lung cancer survivors and reduce the stigma associated with the disease.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with similar survivorship care approaches, indicating a promising avenue for improving outcomes in lung cancer care.
