About this study
In plain language
This study is for older adults who have finished breast cancer treatment. Patients and doctors will help shape a care plan approach called Patient Priorities Care, which focuses on what matters most to patients. The study will test how well this approach works and how practical it is to use.
The objective of this study is to adapt the Patient Priorities Care (PPC) framework to breast cancer survivorship via a user-centered approach, through an iterative process in which patients and their physicians help to refine and modify the intervention. A second objective is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the adapted PPC framework in breast cancer survivorship for older adults.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
