How does the text messaging treatment for cancer survivors differ from other treatments?
This treatment is unique because it uses text messages to support cancer survivors by promoting well-being, health knowledge, and behaviors, which is different from traditional treatments that focus on medical interventions. It leverages the convenience and accessibility of mobile phones to engage patients in their own care, which is not typically a feature of standard cancer treatments.16789
