Official title
D-CRSE: Diminish Chemotherapy Related Side Effects Through Patient Education in Patients With Breast OR Gastrointestinal Cancer Who Are Undergoing Cytotoxic Chemotherapy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Currently, there is a lack of patient education materials regarding cytotoxic chemotherapy side effects, research supported treatments, and the utilization of CAM by cancer patients at Penn State Cancer Institute. The investigators aim to develop an educational brochure, which educates patients about the chemotherapy side effects they may experience, and provide them with the tools to address the problem themselves, know when to contact their medical oncologist, and understand when it is appropriate to go to the Emergency Department. By educating patients regarding these problems, patient anxiety may decrease, the number of calls into the oncologist office may decrease, and Emergency Department visits may decrease, which would decrease costs for the patient, the hospital, and the health system. If this intervention is found to be useful and impactful, it can be further utilized within the Cancer Institute by other disease teams, by other Penn State institutions, or by other institutions across the country.
