Massage is one of the most effective forms of supportive care in cancer, but access to professional practitioners is limited for most patients. In this interview Tracy will talk about reports findings from an NCI-sponsored randomized controlled trial of family caregivers guided by a home-based multimedia instructional program to use simple techniques of touch and massage as supportive care. The project assessed effects of the intervention on (1) symptoms and side effects, (2) quality of life, and (3) caregiver attitudes toward use of touch in the caregiving relationship at home. Tracy will talk about the curriculum design for caregiver massage and the belief that massage is contraindicated for people with cancer.
