LEGAL-CARE: Legal Support for Cancer Patients
This study, called LEGAL-CARE, is looking at how legal support can help people with advanced cancer. Many cancer patients face legal challenges like getting disability benefits, dealing with employment rules, or understanding health insurance. This study will test a program where a legal navigator (a lawyer) will proactively reach out to you monthly for six months to help with these issues. The goal is to see if this type of legal support is practical and helpful. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) with a new diagnosis of advanced stage cancer (stages III or IV) that needs systemic treatment. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
