New online tool aims to keep cancer survivors on track with Follow-Up care
NCT ID NCT05346796
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an online portal called SCP-PHR designed to help colon and rectal cancer survivors manage their survivorship care. Researchers will enroll 250 adults who have completed initial treatment within the past year. The goal is to see if the portal improves how often survivors get recommended surveillance tests and preventive care.
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-Personal Health Record (SCP-PHR) online portal
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical tool to help cancer survivors stay on track with recommended follow-up tests and preventive care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. The tool may not significantly improve outcomes, and results depend on patient engagement and internet access.
