The Coping with Cancer (CwC) study is a national, multicenter, prospective cohort study of advanced cancer patients and their family caregivers who survive them. The Coping with Cancer study has generated a program of research that has included examination of: ethnic disparities in and mediators of end-of-life care; the effects of prognostic discussions on patients’ emotional and cognitive acceptance of their terminal illness, healthcare and costs of healthcare received in the last week of life; studies of factors predicting patient end-of-life treatment preferences, quality of death, and surviving caregiver bereavement adjustment. The study has completed data collection and has resulted in over 50 publications in peer reviewed medical journals.
