NCT ID NCT05116449
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study follows 310 women who had surgery for breast cancer to see how access to supportive care (like counseling or nutrition advice) affects their quality of life. Participants fill out several questionnaires about their physical, emotional, and social well-being over time. The goal is to understand which types of support help most, so hospitals can better meet patients' needs.
