Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will aim to demonstrate that implementation of a rapid, multidisciplinary supportive care program for patients receiving chemoradiotherapy who are deemed to be at high risk for hospitalization based on real-time pedometer data will reduce the rate of hospitalization during chemoradiotherapy or within four weeks of radiotherapy completion.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objective

* To demonstrate that implementation of a rapid, multidisciplinary supportive care program for patients receiving chemoradiotherapy who are deemed to be at high risk for hospitalization based on real-time pedometer data will reduce the rate of hospitalization during chemoradiotherapy or within four weeks of radiotherapy completion.

Secondary Objectives

* To demonstrate the feasibility of a program of rapid, multidisciplinary supportive care triggered by real-time pedometer data.
* To characterize the interventions enacted by our multidisciplinary supportive care team.
* To explore if interventions enacted by our multidisciplinary team for patients with low recent step counts lead to increased step counts in subsequent weeks compared to historical controls.
* To collect biospecimens for future correlative studies examining associations between blood/urine biomarkers and patient activity levels.
