What this trial studies
This study aims to develop and evaluate a computer-assisted personalized supportive care program for patients with early stage lung cancer. It will compare the effects of this program against usual care on various outcomes such as quality of life, physical symptoms, and fear of cancer recurrence. Eligible participants will be newly diagnosed patients who have undergone surgery for lung cancer and will be followed for two years. The study will utilize a randomized control trial design to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are newly diagnosed early stage lung cancer patients aged 20 and older who have undergone tumor excision surgery and can read and speak Mandarin.
Not a fit: Patients with recurrent or metastatic cancer, or those with unclear consciousness, will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve the quality of life and emotional well-being of early stage lung cancer patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using personalized supportive care programs for cancer patients, indicating potential success for this approach.
