After an assessment of supportive care needs, a patient navigator will present assessment results and develop and implement a personalized supportive care intervention plan based on the findings in collaboration with a multidisciplinary supportive care team, formed by oncologists and pain and palliative care specialists. The developed plan will be sent to the treating oncologist and oncology team.

Assessment results will be provided in printed and electronic form to the treating oncologist for their review. Referrals or interventions for patients allocated to the control arm will be coordinated by the treating oncologist without involvement from the patient navigator or the study team.

The patient navigator will discuss the results and supportive care recommended interventions of the multidisciplinary team with the patient. Those interventions which are accepted by patient are initiated when possible, and referrals are made as planned. The study patient navigator will review advance directive planning with those patients who are candidates to complete an advanced directive under Mexican law, and will facilitate the resources to complete the advance directive.

Proportion of patients who agree to participate in the patient navigation program, complete the initial assessment, meet with the patient navigator to discuss advanced care planning and supportive care interventions and obtain the appropriate referrals and consultations.
