Personalized Cancer Support (Thrive Track) for Young Adults with Thyroid, Melanoma, or Testicular Cancer
This study is testing a website called Thrive Track, which aims to help young adults (ages 20-39) with thyroid, melanoma, or testicular cancer manage their emotional needs. Some participants will receive access to the Thrive Track website with general cancer information, while others will also get emotional support content. The researchers want to see if adding emotional support helps reduce cancer-related worry and distress after three months. This study is for young adults diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary or follicular thyroid cancer), melanoma, or testicular cancer. The goal is to understand how different levels of online support can improve coping and quality of life for young adult cancer survivors.

What this trial measures
- Cancer related worry3 months post-enrollment
Cancer-related worry will be evaluated using two 8-item validated scales: 1. Cancer Worry Scale (CWS) 2. An adapted cancer worry scale Overall as well as stratified analyses (by recruitment source and cancer type) will be performed. We will compare mean scores on the two scales between intervention and control subjects at 3 months post intervention. Scores on the CWS scale range from 8 (minimum) to 32 (maximum), with lower scores indicating less cancer-related worry and more favorable outcomes. Scores on the adapted cancer worry scale range from 8 (minimum) to 40 (maximum), with lower scores indicating less cancer-related worry and more favorable outcomes.
- Cancer related distress3 months post-enrollment
Cancer-related distress will be measured using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Distress Thermometer. Scores on the NCCN Distress Thermometer range from 0 (minimum) to 10 (maximum), with lower scores indicating less distress and more favorable outcomes. Overall as well as stratified analyses (by recruitment source and cancer type) will be performed. We will compare mean scores on the distress thermometer between the intervention and control subjects at 3 months post-intervention using two-sample t-tests.
