About this trial

This study examines how virtual support can enhance well-being and survivorship in men with testicular cancer. Participants in North Carolina will be randomized into two groups: one with access to a virtual support platform and the other with access to patient educational materials only. After six months, the emotional well-being, self-efficacy, financial toxicity, and quality of life of both groups will be compared at 3 months and 6 months after baseline assessments.
