Lost to Follow-Up: can a simple phone call bring breast cancer survivors back?

NCT ID NCT06927102

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at 1500 women treated for breast cancer in India between 2017 and 2018 to see how many stopped coming to follow-up visits. Researchers will call or message those who are 'lost to follow-up' to ask about their health and find out why they stopped. The goal is to learn if proactive outreach can improve follow-up rates and understand the barriers patients face.

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 show that simple phone calls or messages help bring breast cancer survivors back to follow-up care, improving long-term monitoring.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove that outreach improves health outcomes, only that it may increase follow-up rates.
