Detailed description

The following randomized longitudinal study will evaluate the long term impact of caregivers' involvement in cancer care pathway, including a psychological support intervention on the dyads to be delivered after the detection of a suspected cancer and before the visit with the oncologist for discussing therapeutic options.
