Rural cancer survivors test DIY care plans and phone education
NCT ID NCT04081779
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether cancer survivors living in rural areas can create their own survivorship care plans and learn from telehealth education. 261 survivors of breast, colorectal, lung, lymphoma, or prostate cancer took part. The goal was to see if this approach improves their knowledge and confidence in managing their health after cancer treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- survivorship care plan and telehealth education
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining patient-created care plans with telehealth education helps rural cancer survivors feel more confident and informed about their follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study focused on feasibility and accuracy, not on direct health outcomes. The results may not apply to all cancer types or rural areas outside Washington.
