Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a randomized, interventional trial in which the navigation is the intervention. Phase is not applicable. The study is a randomized trial to evaluate the impact of a nurse-led patient navigation intervention in improving rates of receipt of lung-directed therapy with curative intent (LDTCI) among African Americans with early stage lung cancer. Study sites are cluster-randomized to either the usual care study arm or the to the navigation intervention study arm. Randomization occurred at the level of the study site rather than at the level of individual participants. There are two arms.

- Usual Care Arm
- description
- Participants who are assigned to the usual care arm may receive the following services: complete staging work-up (CT/PET scan and possible mediastinoscopy), surgical consultation with a general or cardiothoracic surgeon, cardiac clearance and/or pulmonary function testing (if deemed necessary by the evaluating surgeon), surgical resection (wedge resection, lobectomy, pneumonectomy, or radiosurgery, as indicated by the size and location of the tumor), and adjuvant therapy (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, as determined by the intraoperative findings and pathology results).

- Intervention Arm
- description
- The PN will provide each patient with a copy of the NCI's "What You Need to Know About Lung Cancer" booklet and encourage them to re-contact his/her primary care physician (or the physician who diagnosed their probable/proven NSCLC) to discuss treatment options. The PNs will provide patients with their contact information and brief patients on their role. The PNs will navigate study participants for up to 4 months (16 weeks, 112 days) after NSCLC diagnosis, until the patient is deemed ineligible for LDTCI (i.e., lung resection or SBRT) by their physician(s), until receipt of LDTCI, or death (whichever comes first). During the EPDPN intervention period, PNs will contact each intervention group participant by telephone (or in-person) on weekly basis (at minimum).
