ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a special program designed to help Chinese cancer survivors manage their health after treatment. The goal is to see if this program can reduce physical symptoms, help with weight management, boost confidence in handling health issues, and improve overall quality of life for patients who have recently completed their cancer treatment. The study is currently recruiting participants aged 65 to 74 who speak Cantonese or Mandarin and have been diagnosed with a curable type of cancer.

To join the study, participants should have finished their main cancer treatments within the last six months. However, those with metastatic cancer, which means their cancer has spread to other parts of the body, are not eligible. If you participate, you can expect to engage in this self-management program and share your experiences, which will help researchers understand how to better support cancer survivors in the future.
