Abstract Purpose Most patients with cancer lack the prognostic understanding necessary to make informed decisions. We tested the feasibility and acceptability of the Oncolo‐GIST (“Giving Information Strategically and Transparently, GIST”) intervention and explored its associations with patients' improved prognostic understanding. Methods The Oncolo‐GIST intervention distills prognostic discussions into easy‐to‐understand talking points. Patients with metastatic cancers that progressed on ≥1 line of chemotherapy and not expected to survive 12 months (n = 31) were recruited from October 2020 through November 2022. We compared patients who discussed their progressive scans with an oncologist trained in the GIST technique or not (i.e., usual care). A primary outcome was prognostic understanding (e.g., patients reporting a life‐expectancy of months) assessed within a week of the scan discussion visit. Results Oncologists (n = 4) appeared receptive to the Oncolo‐GIST intervention and scored nearly perfectly on post‐training tests of material mastery after a |
