The STELLAR program is testing whether cancer patients benefit more from an online coaching program that helps with three common health challenges: smoking, physical activity, and weight management. This trial will compare two groups: one that receives 12 telehealth coaching sessions with personalized goals and daily tracking, and another that receives printed information about these topics. The goal is to see which approach helps patients improve their health habits and quality of life after cancer treatment.
Many cancer survivors struggle with smoking, lack of exercise, and weight gain—behaviors that can increase their risk of cancer returning or developing other health problems. This trial exists to find the best way to help cancer patients tackle these challenges through an easy-to-use online program that fits into their lives.

If you join the coaching group, you'll receive personalized goals for exercise, smoking, or weight loss and will track your progress daily using an app, spreadsheet, or paper log. You'll participate in 12 telehealth video calls with a study coach over 9 months to discuss your progress and get support. You'll also have measurements taken (like height and weight) or have them pulled from your medical record at baseline and at 3, 6, and 9 months. If you're in the information-only group, you'll receive printed materials about these topics and have the same measurements taken at the same time points.
