Summary

This study investigates whether giving patients personalized, secure access to a web platform with an explanatory video about their upcoming breast cancer surgery can lower their anxiety. Participants are women with breast cancer scheduled for lumpectomy, oncoplasty, or mastectomy. The platform provides round-the-clock access to practical information and a surgery explanation video, aiming to reduce preoperative anxiety compared to standard information alone.
