ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is focused on improving the education and support provided to women with early-stage breast cancer who are about to undergo surgery. The researchers want to see if a new approach that combines practical education and psychological support can help patients feel less anxious and depressed during their hospital stay. They will look at how this education affects not only patients' mental health but also their treatment choices and overall quality of life.
To participate, women must be over 18 years old, diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, and scheduled for surgery at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. The study will not include patients with more advanced cancer or those currently involved in other clinical trials. Participants can expect to be part of a supportive environment where their emotional and informational needs are addressed, and they will be assessed on their mental well-being before leaving the hospital and again a year later. This trial aims to find better ways to support breast cancer patients during a challenging time in their treatment journey.
