- The study focuses on the psycho-oncology care needs of younger women (ages 19-39) after treatment for various gynecologic cancers, highlighting a gap in research compared to other age groups.
- Over half of the women surveyed reported unmet care needs post-treatment, with specific figures showing significant dissatisfaction among those diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
- The findings emphasize the necessity for tailored, quality care that aligns with each woman's individual requirements and expectations following cancer treatment.
Background: Clinical trials are often challenged with issues of recruitment and retention. Little is known concerning general attitudes and preferences toward trial design and willingness to participate among parents of children treated for cancer. Furthermore, willingness to participate in internet-administered psychological interventions remains unexplored.
