This phase III trial evaluates whether a web-based intervention called Current Together after Cancer (CTAC) works to increase the number of patients with surgically removed (resected) colorectal cancer who receive surveillance care that aligns with current guidelines (guideline-concordant). Surveillance care after resection of colorectal cancer is critical to detect potentially curable return of disease (recurrence), yet up to 60% of colorectal cancer survivors fail to receive surveillance. This may be due to a lack of knowledge about the purpose of surveillance care and the risks of cancer recurrence, or a lack of confidence for managing surveillance care. The CTAC intervention is an online education intervention designed to improve patients' knowledge about surveillance and their self-efficacy for managing surveillance, and to promote effective communication with supporters and supporter engagement in patients' surveillance in a way that is aligned with each patient's preferences. By increasing a patient's knowledge, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with their supporter's engagement in their care, the CTAC intervention may increase the number of patients who receive guideline-concordant surveillance care after resection of colorectal cancer.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate whether the patients randomized to the Current Together After Cancer (CTAC) intervention website compared to the CTAC control website have higher rates of guideline-concordant colorectal cancer (CRC) surveillance at 12 months after registration. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess patient reported knowledge about surveillance at 3 and 16 months post-patient registration. (Comparing CTAC intervention versus \[vs.\] control) II. To assess patient reported self-efficacy in management of surveillance 3 and 16 months post-patient registration using previously dev…
Inclusion Criteria: * PATIENTS: * Patient participants must have newly diagnosed surgically resected, stage II or stage III colorectal cancer per the timing described below * Patient participants must have an adult in their life who supports them in their colorectal cancer journey who they might be willing to invite to join them in viewing an educational website. This is determined via the question: "Do you have an adult in your life, such as a spouse/partner, family member or friend, who supports you with your colorectal cancer journey and may be willing to view a website with you? When we s…
