What was measured

We used the response to an item on Perception of Treatment and Prognosis Questionnaire to compare rates of accurate prognostic understanding between study arms. Participants reported their primary goal of their current cancer treatment: 1) to cure my cancer; 2) to lesson my suffering as much as possible; 3) for me and/or my family to be able to keep hoping; 4) to make sure I have done everything; 5) to extend my life as long as possible; 6) to help cancer research. Participants' responses were dichotomized as 1) to cure my cancer vs. all other.

Analysis population: The different rows reflect analyses at week-12 and week-24. Please note the number of participants included in week-12 and week-24 analyses reflect the participants who completed the Perception of Treatment and Prognosis Questionnaire at these time points (study completers), which explains the discrepancy with the flow chart.
