Could seeing your own health data improve cancer care?
NCT ID NCT03995082
First seen Aug 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether giving breast cancer patients a graph of their own survey results—called Patient Reported Outcome Measures—helps them engage more with their care. About 925 women with a new breast cancer diagnosis will be randomly assigned to either receive their survey results or not. Researchers will then compare patient satisfaction, use of support services, and communication with doctors between the two groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) survey result feedback
- What this could lead to
- If sharing survey results improves patient engagement, it could lead to better communication and more personalized care for breast cancer patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on measuring engagement, not a treatment. Results may not change outcomes, and the benefit could vary widely among patients.
