About this trial

The objective of this study is to adapt the Patient Priorities Care (PPC) framework to breast cancer survivorship via a user-centered approach, through an iterative process in which patients and their physicians help to refine and modify the intervention. A second objective is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the adapted PPC framework in breast cancer survivorship for older adults.
