Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The number of breast cancer survivors is growing. More cured women are becoming long-term survivors of breast cancer (LS-BC) at least 5 years after diagnosis and after treatment has been completed. Some of these LS-BC return to daily life without any problems; however, in many cases, they experience and have to deal with physical sequelae (chronic fatigue, pain, etc.) psychological sequelae (anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence, etc.) and social sequelae (altered interpersonal relationships, difficulty in returning to work, etc.). For many LS-BC, these health problems are not being met by health professionals. Thus there is a need to promote greater continuity and coordination between specialized oncology care and primary health care in order to enhance specific follow-up of these women in the community. However, the role of the primary health care team in the provision of care in the long-term cancer survival is not clearly defined and few actions have been aimed at improving care activities, standardizing procedures and protocols, developing documentation and registries and updating the training of health care professionals. Therefore, this study aim to design, implement, and evaluate a web based tailored intervention, using artificial intelligence, to improve the quality of life of long-term breast cancer survivors, and self-efficacy for the management of late sequelae from primary care.
