Breast cancer Follow-Up: is personalized care better than guidelines?
NCT ID NCT05365230
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a personalized follow-up plan (with on-demand nurse access and annual phone calls) works as well as standard clinic visits every 3-6 months for early-stage breast cancer patients. 261 women who finished initial treatment took part. The goal was to see if personalized care improves quality of life and reduces fear of cancer returning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that personalized follow-up care is as good as or better than standard schedules, potentially reducing unnecessary clinic visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed Phase 4 trial with 261 participants, so results may not apply to all breast cancer patients. The study only compared follow-up strategies, not a new treatment.
