Can a simple quiz help breast cancer patients cope better?

NCT ID NCT07328321

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

Researchers developed and tested a short questionnaire called the Cancer Pathology Acceptance Questionnaire for Breast Cancer (CPAQ-8-BC) in 101 women with breast cancer. The goal was to see if it reliably measures how well a patient accepts her illness and stays engaged in life despite it. This tool could help healthcare providers offer more personalized psychological support.
