Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. To explore the feasibility of a proactive nurse-driven telephone triage intervention for patients with cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy in the ambulatory setting.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore the symptom experience of patients receiving a nurse-driven telephone triage intervention while receiving chemotherapy in the ambulatory setting.
II. To explore the satisfaction of patients receiving a nurse-driven telephone triage intervention while receiving chemotherapy in the ambulatory setting.
III. To explore the frequency of emergency room visits and hospital admissions for symptom management by patients receiving a nurse-driven telephone triage intervention while receiving chemotherapy in the ambulatory setting.
OUTLINE:
During standard of care chemotherapy, patients receive up to 18 telephone calls from a nurse using a standardized triage call script over 20 minutes.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Newly diagnosed patients with a breast, sarcoma, or head and neck cancer diagnosis preparing to undergo first-line, standard of care chemotherapy (patients with head and neck cancer may be undergoing concurrent first-line chemotherapy and radiation treatment)
* All chemotherapy treatment to be completed at the study institution
Exclusion Criteria
* Patients who will be receiving chemotherapy on research protocols
* Pregnant patients, as they may be on unique treatment protocols outside standard of care or have symptom needs that are beyond the scope of this intervention
* Patients who are unable to verbalize (e.g. due to tracheostomy)
