New online tool aims to ease Family-Building decisions for young cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06050135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based decision aid called 'Roadmap to Parenthood' for young women who have completed cancer treatment and are thinking about having children. The tool provides information and planning support to help them make informed choices. Researchers will measure whether it reduces uncertainty and improves quality of life compared to a standard informational booklet.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Roadmap to Parenthood (web-based decision aid and planning tool)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this tool could help young women who have had cancer feel more confident and less uncertain about their family-building options.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply to everyone. The tool may not significantly reduce decision uncertainty or improve quality of life.
