It's not for those with heart issues, prior thorax radiotherapy, previous similar chemo treatments, physical disability impeding certain tests, psychiatric conditions affecting consent, or involvement in related studies.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The TITAN Study is testing whether extra care from a team of various health professionals (like nurses and dietitians) can benefit people with cancer during and after treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either this multidisciplinary intervention or the usual care.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this study focuses on additional assessments rather than medication side effects are not the main concern; however, any interventions introduced by the multidisciplinary team may carry their own risks depending on individual patient circumstances.

Does evidence support the efficacy of Multidisciplinary team intervention?

"Our analysts have given Multidisciplinary team intervention a safety score of 2. This is due to the fact that, while Phase 2 trials provide some evidence supporting safety, there is no data affirming efficacy."
