A Web-Based Tool to Improve Breast Cancer Survivorship

OncoTool is a website intended to improve self-management practices for helping cancer patients cope with stress and improve health-related quality of life. OncoTool provides mindfulness-based education and management for dealing with the numerous physical and mental side effects associated with hormone therapy (e.g., muscle and joint pain, vaginal dryness, depressive symptoms). OncoTool is a website designed to improve hormone therapy adherence by improving quality of life, and hormone therapy associated symptom burden. Both intervention and active comparator conditions are administered to participants for 8 weeks.

OncoTool is a health promotion website with health education on subjects like nutrition and exercise specific to breast cancer survivors, as well as general advice on lifestyle choices and prevention. The Oncotool control has similar HT education content as the experimental content but without the CBT and MBSR state. Both intervention and active comparator conditions are administered to participants for 8 weeks.
