ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07285044

This study is exploring if receiving cancer treatment at home is more satisfying for patients compared to traditional clinic visits. It focuses on patients living in the Florida Panhandle and nearby areas, aiming to reduce the burden of traveling to medical centers for treatment.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This trial is investigating whether cancer patients prefer receiving their treatment at home instead of going to a clinic. The study is based in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas. Typically, cancer treatments require patients to visit medical centers, which can be time-consuming and stressful. This program, called the Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise (CARE) Beyond Walls, uses a specialized team to provide treatment at home. It aims to connect patients with their healthcare providers remotely, potentially improving their satisfaction with the treatment process.
