Expanding the use of patient navigation: health coaching-based navigation as a novel approach to addressing deficits in breast cancer survivorship support
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment(2024)
摘要
Patient navigation (PN) was created to address barriers to screening and workup for cancers. Since its inception it has resulted in improved mammography utilization, diagnostic resolution, and time to breast cancer treatment initiation in medically underserved populations. Because an abundance of evidence has established PN’s positive impact, its use has expanded within the breast cancer care continuum, from screening, treatment, and ultimately survivorship. Increasing applications for navigation now also include support in the treatment and survivorship phase. After treatment, populations who struggle with the complex medical systems where oncology care is often delivered, also lack the support resources needed to successfully transition to survivorship. Support in the psychosocial realm is important for these patients as they continue surveillance and adherence to maintenance medications, such as hormonal therapy.
