Guiding survivors: navigation program aims to boost access to supportive care
NCT ID NCT07699991
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a patient navigation program can help breast cancer survivors schedule and attend appointments for supportive services like counseling, exercise, and nutrition advice. Many survivors have unmet needs for such care, but participation is low, especially among minority and older women. The program provides a navigator to guide patients through the healthcare system and reduce barriers. Researchers will compare referral, scheduling, and attendance rates before and during the program.
