New study tests if proactive sexual health talks boost breast cancer Survivors' Well-Being
NCT ID NCT06415266
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two approaches to sexual health support for breast cancer patients who recently finished standard treatment. One group gets personalized, proactive care, while the other gets support only when they ask. Researchers will measure sexual quality of life over two years in 264 participants to see which approach works better.
