Cancer treatment adherence among low‐income women with breast or gynecologic cancer

The authors implemented a controlled, randomized trial that compared 2 interventions: the provision of written resource navigation information (enhanced usual care [EUC]) versus written information plus patient navigation (TPN) aimed at improving adjuvant treatment adherence and follow‐up among 487 low‐income, predominantly Hispanic women with breast cancer or gynecologic cancer.
