Collaborative Care Intervention for Cancer Patients and Their Family Caregivers -LITE

This study is testing a web-based program called "Stepped collaborative care intervention" against "Enhanced Usual Care" (your regular care from health providers). The goal is to see if the web program can help advanced cancer patients with symptoms like depression, fatigue, pain, and sleep problems, and improve their overall quality of life. It also aims to reduce stress and depression in their family caregivers. You may be able to join if you are 21 to 100 years old, have a specific type of advanced cancer (like hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma, or breast, ovarian, or colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver), and are expected to live at least one more year. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
