The vision of the Cancer Advocacy & Patient Education (CAPE) program is to engage, inform, and empower newly diagnosed cancer patients through utilization of a predetermined quality-of-life model to reduce distress and improve patient experience between diagnosis and first treatment. This educational tool also assists the patient in finding ways to improve shared decision-making around diagnosis, testing, and treatment. Lastly, the CAPE initiative strives to ensure the patients’ understanding of the diagnostic and treatment journey which is individualized to their disease state.
