What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Practice Led Intervention in the Primary Care Program for Breast Cancer Management?
The research suggests that coordination between primary care and oncology care providers is important for quality cancer care, but there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of specific interventions. However, a pilot study indicated that breast cancer patients might benefit from targeted actions by general practitioners based on multidisciplinary team recommendations.12345
How does the Primary Care Program for Breast Cancer Management differ from other treatments?
This treatment is unique because it focuses on transitioning breast cancer survivors from specialist care to primary care, ensuring that they receive continuous and evidence-based follow-up care from primary care providers. This approach is designed to be safe and effective, providing a sustainable model for managing survivorship care.678910
