NCT ID NCT04713449
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an online program called Empowered Survivor, designed to help people who have had oral or throat cancer feel more confident managing their health after treatment. Researchers are comparing it to a free online tool already available for cancer survivors. The goal is to see if the new program improves self-care, quality of life, and preparedness for survivorship. About 643 survivors are taking part.
