About this study
In plain language
This study looks at how a care program for people with lung cancer diagnosed at a young age affects satisfaction with care. It also explores the needs of patients and their families, and how peer support groups affect patients. It is for adults older than 18 and younger than 50 with non-small cell lung cancer.
The goal of this research study is to learn about: The effect of enrolling in the YOLC program on patient satisfaction with care provided, The needs of patients younger than 50 with lung cancer and their family, and The impact of participating in peer support networks on these patients.
