Abstract

Background/Aims A woman who is newly diagnosed with breast cancer faces immediate informational and social support needs. She must learn about her disease and its treatment, cope with emotional distress, and make decisions about her treatment. To answer the need for information and support, an Interactive Cancer Communication System (“CHESS”) was developed, validated in several randomized trials, and is now being implemented to provide access to integrated information for decision-making, behavior change, and emotional support.
