NCT ID NCT07023822
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether it's possible to test a program that combines different approaches to help breast cancer survivors with sexual health issues. 18 women who had finished their main cancer treatment took part. The goal was to see if women would join, stay, and follow the program, not to measure if it worked.
