Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well medical physics direct patient care works in improving patients' understanding of their cancer treatment. Providing direct physicist-patient interactions and answering patients' questions about their cancer treatment may help patients to understand the care and therefore reduce anxiety and distress during treatment.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate whether the Medical Physics Direct Patient Care Initiative (MPDPCI) improves anxiety/distress. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: II. To assess whether the MPDPCI improves patient treatment adherence and overall satisfaction. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive printed materials describing the technical aspects of their treatment. ARM II: Patients receive printed materials as in Arm I. Patients also receive a minimum of 2 direct physicist interactions to describe the technical aspects of their treatment either immediately prior to or immediately after treatment simulation. ;
