Virtual Support for Testicular Cancer Survivors

This study is looking at how virtual support can help men who have had testicular cancer feel better and improve their quality of life. You can join if you are a man between 18 and 95 years old and were diagnosed with germ cell testicular cancer within the last five years. Participants will either use a special virtual support platform or receive patient educational materials. Researchers will compare emotional well-being, self-efficacy (your belief in your ability to succeed), financial toxicity (financial problems due to medical care), and quality of life between these groups. The main goal is to see how emotional well-being scores change over six months. The study is currently recruiting participants in North Carolina.

What this trial measures

  • Emotional well-being scores comparisonAt baseline, 3-months, and 6-months

    Emotional well-being will be assessed by patient-reported outcomes questionnaires using a 9-item Positive Affect and Well-Being assessment from the Neuro-QOL Item Bank v1. Emotional well-being scores in virtual support and enhanced usual care will be compared. It is a 5-point Likert scale, higher scores reflect better emotional well-being.
