Improving Uptake of Surveillance in Colorectal Cancer Survivors Through Navigation and Web Education

A Pilot Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Navigation, Interactive Web Education, or the Combination of Both to Promote Guideline-Concordant Colorectal Cancer Surveillance Care

Sponsor

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center

Enrollment

75 participants

Nov 17, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Stage I Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8 Stage II Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8 Stage III Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8

Summary

This pilot clinical trial looks at whether patient navigation services, an interactive web education intervention, called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC), or both navigation and CTAC works to improve the uptake of surveillance in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer (CRC). Post-treatment surveillance is critical to detect recurrence early, yet many CRC survivors do not receive recommended surveillance care. Surveillance is a complex process that includes laboratory tests, cross-sectional imaging, and endoscopic procedures. Patient navigation services, interactive web education, or a combination of both may improve surveillance care for patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether combining patient navigation (a dedicated health coach who helps patients understand and access follow-up care) with an educational website can increase the number of colorectal cancer survivors who complete their recommended post-surgery surveillance visits — such as colonoscopies and CT scans. Many cancer survivors miss these appointments, which are critical for catching any recurrence early. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have Stage I, II, or III colorectal cancer and had your tumor surgically removed within the past 3 months - You are being cared for at one of the participating clinics - You can read and complete surveys in English **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer has spread to other organs (Stage IV disease) - You cannot understand or complete questionnaires in English Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
