Novel INPUT Screening Tool for Lung Cancer Understanding

This study is testing a new screening tool called INPUT. This tool is designed to help patients with lung cancer that has spread (metastatic) or is incurable better understand their illness and treatment options. The goal is to make sure your medical care aligns with your personal values and preferences. We want to see if using this tool helps patients understand their illness better compared to usual care. To join, you must be at least 18 years old, speak English, have a recent diagnosis of stage IV lung cancer, and be receiving treatment at MD Anderson. We are looking for 100 participants. The study will measure changes in your understanding of your illness over three months.
