Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1\) caregiver well-being, 2) patient physical and psychosocial outcomes, and 3) health services utilization and costs. Palliative care focuses on providing patients with serious illnesses and their families with physical, emotional, social, practical, and spiritual support. Recent trials examining the integration of palliative care in cancer care have individually shown improvement in patient symptoms and quality of life, reduction of caregiver burden, and/or health services costs. These studies, however, have not collectively analyzed these impacts.Further, a recent study shows that integrating palliative care early in lung cancer care has proven beneficial to both patients and caregivers. Given the potential of this previous body of research, the proposed study offers a comprehensive analysis of the early integration of palliative care on caregiver well-being, patient's physical and psychosocial outcomes when living with liver and metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), and health services utilization. This study thus broadens the scope to additional cancer types and degrees of progression.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control group
The first prospective group -the control group- will consist of 30 patients receiving treatment by the Interventional Radiology team- along with their 30 primary caregivers. Neither the patient nor the caregiver will receive the palliative care training intervention. Patients and their caregivers will receive questionnaires regarding their health status (physical and psychosocial) and health services utilization at 1, 2, and 3 months post-procedure- during their follow-up visits.
No interventions assigned to this group
Intervention Group
The second prospective component of the study -the intervention group- will include 30 patients receiving treatment by the Interventional Radiology team along with their primary caregiver. Patients and caregivers will receive a brief palliative care training intervention during their first follow-up visit. Patients and their caregivers will receive questionnaires to assess their health status (physical and psychosocial) and health services utilization outcomes at 1, 2, and 3 months post-procedure during their follow-up visits.
Palliative Care Training
The intervention group- will include 30 patients receiving treatment by the Interventional Radiology team along with their primary caregiver. Patients and caregivers will receive a brief palliative care training intervention during their first follow-up visit. Patients and their caregivers will receive questionnaires to assess their health status (physical and psychosocial) and health services utilization outcomes at 1, 2, and 3 months post-procedure during their follow-up visits.
