ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "The Unmet Needs of Cancer Survivors in Ausl IRCCS Reggio Emilia," is focused on understanding the challenges faced by individuals who have recently been diagnosed with cancer and completed their initial treatment. The study aims to gather insights from patients, their caregivers, and healthcare stakeholders to improve aftercare services for cancer survivors. By talking to people who have experienced various types of cancer, including breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers, the researchers want to identify gaps in support and care that could enhance the well-being of survivors in the region.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have a history of specific cancers, like breast or prostate cancer, and have completed their main treatment. Caregivers and stakeholders who support these patients are also welcome to join. Participants can expect to share their experiences through focus groups or interviews, which will be recorded to accurately capture their thoughts. This information will be analyzed to find ways to make aftercare better for cancer survivors, ensuring their needs are met as they continue their recovery journey.
