Effect of Cancer Nurse Navigators on Patient Outcomes

Stopped early · Phase 2/Phase 3

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer, Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Prostate Cancer

In brief

There is widespread anecdotal evidence that Cancer Nurse Navigators (CNNs) are highly valued by cancer patients, but no studies have evaluated the effects of CNNs on important patient-reported outcomes or indicators of quality of care. This study has two aims: 1. To assess the feasibility of studying the impact of Aurora CNN Program. 2. To pilot test the effects of CNN services on patient-reported outcomes and indicators of quality of care.
