Improving Care After Chemotherapy

The main purpose of this study is to examine changes in patient-reported symptoms during the first two cycles of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and breast cancer, among patients who receive standard care plus a proactive nursing intervention relative to patients who receive standard care alone. Interventions to improve symptom management and prevent urgent care needs in both the clinic and hospital for patients receiving chemotherapy with curative intent are needed to enhance the quality of cancer care.
