New program aims to ease daily life for young black women battling breast cancer
NCT ID NCT05243056
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a four-month telephone program called Y-AMBIENT for young African American women (ages 18-44) with stage I-III breast cancer who were undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. The program included education sessions, follow-up calls, and videos to help manage quality of life. The study was terminated early, so it is unclear how well it worked.
