Participants must be receiving care through specific Johns Hopkins Medical Institute locations and be able to read and speak English. Those with metastatic breast cancer cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to implement a screening program for conditions like prediabetes, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, and increased cardiovascular disease risk in breast cancer survivors. It includes various assessments such as HbA1c levels, lipid panels, BMI evaluations, and cardiovascular risk predictions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on screening rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are no direct side effects from the interventions being studied. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety related to learning about their potential health risks.
