Summary

This trial tests whether a structured, nurse-led symptom screening program can increase the number of cancer survivors who are screened for distress and referred to supportive services. The program includes nurse training and regular feedback, and it will be rolled out across multiple clinics in a stepped fashion. The goal is to see if this systematic approach improves how often patients are screened and referred, compared to usual care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A nurse-led symptom distress screening and referral program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could become a standard way to ensure cancer survivors get the supportive care they need, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
The trial is early and focuses on process outcomes (screening rates) rather than direct patient health benefits. Results may vary across clinics, and the program's success depends on staff adherence.
