This phase II trial studies whether providing cancer treatment in the home is preferred over the traditional clinic setting and if it improves treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas. Typically, drug-related cancer care is provided at a medical center which causes patients to have to spend considerable time away from their family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This may add to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families during this difficult time in their lives. The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise (CARE) Beyond Walls (CCBW) program uses a specialized care team trained to provide cancer treatment in the patient's home setting. It is designed to support remote connection between the home health team and providers and Mayo clinic. This may be preferred over the traditional clinic setting which may improve treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas.
Additional locations may be listed on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT07285044.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish patient-centeredness by evaluating patient preferences regarding the location of cancer treatment delivery (at home/mobile unit versus in clinic).
II. To assess the safety of at-home administration of cancer treatment as measured by the incidence of grade 3+ adverse events at least possibly related to the location of cancer treatment delivery. (Safety goal)
III. To describe the incidence of avoidable (in the opinion of the treating physician) acute care visits, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations during at-home cancer treatment. (Safety goal)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the impact of home cancer treatment delivery on patient-reported function and global health/quality of life, patient-reported symptoms, and satisfaction.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess transportation and lodging costs related to in-clinic cancer treatment delivery.
II. To assess patient perceptions of caregiver experiences related to location of cancer treatment delivery.
III. To evaluate patient perceptions of and experiences with receiving care in the home versus in the mobile unit.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive in-home standard of care cancer-treatment through CCBW according to standard clinical practice for up to 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Following 12 weeks of in-home treatment, patients choose to return to clinic setting or continue to receive in-home treatment for an additional 12 weeks.
After the completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at the first clinic visit for next treatment cycle.
