Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This trial studies how well an application-based question prompt list works in improving treatment cost discussion between patients with breast, prostate, lung, or colorectal cancer and their oncologists. An application-based question prompt list, called Discussion of Cost Application (DISCO App), may help to improve how patients and oncologists discuss cancer treatment costs.
