PRISMA: Primary Hormone-sensitive Breast Cancer: Need-driven Health Care Improvement by Patient-centred Digital Application
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators designed a prospective, 2-armed, cluster-randomized multicenter clinical trial on the effect of a by a digital application triggered intervention on quality of life and therapy-adherence among breast cancer patients, compared to standard of care.

Detailed Description
With validated questionnaires, patient reported outcome monitoring data on quality of life, distress and therapy-adherence are collected. In case of pathologic values, the attending breast center gets advised to intervene according to individual requirements.
For women with breast cancer, disease and therapy come along with loss of quality of life. Therapy and its side effects often result in unauthorized discontinuation of therapy by patients. Non-adherence rates to endocrine therapy (ET) range from 31% to 73%. These patients have a poorer prognosis due to recurrence, progression and cancer deaths. Positive effects to increase therapy-adherence were shown for bidirectional communication. Furthermore the use of apps with reminder functions can increase adherence to cancer therapy. The intention within this project is to improve care of patients with primary breast cancer.
