Brief Summary:
This trial studies how well a financial navigation intervention works in improving financial and clinical outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Financial toxicity is a term used to summarize cancer-related financial hardship, including both the material (e.g. debt) and psychological (e.g. anxiety about costs) aspects. Cancer patients who experience financial toxicity are at greater risk for treatment non-adherence, poorer quality of life, and worse survival. Caregivers also share in this experience of financial toxicity and often spend money on food, medications, and other patient needs in addition to taking time off from work to provide logistical, emotional, and medical support. Financial navigation interventions that address the shared household financial concerns of patients and their caregivers may not only improve the patient outcomes but also improve caregiver burden, quality of life, and ability to perform caregiver roles more effectively.
Detailed Description:
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
