This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a program called ENABLE-SG, which provides structured conversations and counseling sessions designed to support people with advanced cancer and their caregivers early in the cancer journey. The program focuses on helping patients and caregivers understand their situation, plan ahead, manage emotions, and connect with resources — all starting soon after diagnosis. Researchers want to see whether getting this support early makes a real difference in quality of life, mood, and how well people cope.
Many people with advanced cancer and their families feel overwhelmed and unsupported during a critical time. This trial exists to see whether offering caring, practical conversations early on — rather than waiting — can help people feel less anxious, make better decisions about their care, and reduce unnecessary hospital visits.

If you join, you will be randomly assigned to either start the program right away or wait six months. If you start immediately, you will attend about six weekly sessions designed for patients (plus four weekly sessions if a caregiver joins). Each session involves conversations with a trained counselor about your diagnosis, your feelings, coping strategies, and planning ahead. You will also complete questionnaires at the beginning, at 6 months, and at 12 months to help researchers understand how the program is affecting your quality of life and wellbeing.
