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. Family caregivers reported their primary goal of the 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. Family caregivers' responses were dichotomized as 1) to cure my cancer vs. all other.

Analysis population: Proportion of caregiver goal is cure at week-12 and week-24. Please note the number of participants reflect those who completed the Perception of Treatment and Prognosis Questionnaire at week-12 and week-24, which explains the discrepancy with the participants flow.
