Summary

This study tested a website and mobile app called BC-Navigate, designed to help Black women and other women of color start chemotherapy on time after breast cancer surgery. The goal was to see if the app was easy to use and could reduce racial inequities in cancer care. Researchers enrolled 64 women and measured how many joined the study, stayed in it, and started chemo within 90 days.

What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could help reduce racial disparities in breast cancer treatment by ensuring women of color start chemotherapy promptly after surgery.
