Secondary Objective • To examine how different options of medical information (risks/benefits, time toxicity, prognosis, oncologists' recommendation, and costs) affect preference for palliative systemic therapy in participants with advanced cancer. Exploratory Objective * To examine how the order of presentation of medical information affects preference for palliative systemic therapy in participants with advanced cancer. * To examine the association between intrinsic participants characteristics (such as participants demographics, symptoms, anxiety, depression, illness understanding, acceptance, coping strategies, religious coping, hope, decision making style, trust in oncologist, financial distress) and preference for palliative systemic therapy in participants with advanced cancer.
