SIS.NET: a randomized controlled trial evaluating a web-based system for symptom management after treatment of breast cancer.

Background: As cancer survivorship increases, health care systems will be challenged to meet patient needs. With the limited availability of clinician time and resources, novel methods of using patient-reported outcomes may improve the quality and efficiency of follow-up care in patients with breast cancer.

Methods: The authors conducted a randomized trial in patients with TNM stage I to III breast cancer comparing standard care with SIS.

Survivorship clinic group educational sessions: adoption, acceptance, and attendance.

The number of breast cancer survivors now exceeds 2.5 million in the USA. In the near future, it is likely that existing systems will not be sufficient to provide follow-up care and services for all these patients.
