NCT ID NCT05512260
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to create a web-based decision aid for people invited to cancer screening in Sweden. The tool would provide clear information about the benefits and harms of screening, helping individuals decide based on knowledge rather than fear. The study was withdrawn before it started, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help people make more informed, personal decisions about cancer screening, potentially increasing participation and reducing fear or misconceptions.
- What could go wrong
- The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data was collected. The tool may not work as intended or may not reach the groups that need it most.
