Doctors who care for low-income women who have survived breast cancer are more likely to implement recommended follow-up care if the patients receive counseling and a care plan that is tailored for them, according to a UCLA-led study.

“The results are very exciting as they clearly demonstrate that the combination of a survivorship care plan with counseling can empower low-income women as they transition from breast cancer patient to breast cancer survivor,” said Dr. Patricia Ganz, director of Prevention and Control Research at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and a co-author of the study.
