Description
Tinne Smets and a large European team lay out the plan for a trial of a navigation program for older people with cancer and their family caregivers. Navigators guide patients through diagnosis, treatment, and care, removing barriers along the way. Such programs are promising but scarce in Europe, and solid evidence is lacking.
The trial will run in six countries and randomly assign patients aged seventy and older with declining health. One group gets the navigation program plus standard care; the other gets standard care alone, with faster access later. Quality of life and social support at six months are the main outcomes. A built-in process study will examine how the program fits each health system.
