First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested a smartphone app that lets breast cancer patients on oral chemotherapy report side effects and get basic advice. Hospital pharmacists were alerted when needed. The goal was to see if the app could improve monitoring and reduce phone calls. Only 28 patients took part, so results are preliminary.
