Survivorship Care Planning in Improving Quality of Life in Survivors of Ovarian Cancer

Feasibility and Preliminary Outcomes of Survivorship Care Planning in Ovarian Cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies survivorship care planning in supporting quality of life in ovarian cancer survivors following primary treatment. Survivorship care plans have the potential to empower patients and provide them with a plan of care following treatments. Survivorship care planning may support patient's overall well-being and quality of life after treatment of ovarian cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of survivorship care planning (SCP) in ovarian cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To develop the infrastructure and strategy for a larger comparative intervention study (National Cancer Institute [NCI] R01).

OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Participants receive standard post-treatment care consisting of regular cancer surveillance visits with treating oncologists.

ARM II: Participants complete survivorship care planning in close collaboration with treating oncologists.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 2 months.

Inclusion Criteria:
