Summary

This trial aims to identify cancer patients at risk of delayed treatment, so interventions can be provided to get them treatment faster. 240 colorectal and breast cancer patients will be studied.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a recent diagnosis of breast or colorectal cancer who plan to receive treatment at the University of North Carolina. They must be able to get and respond to surveys electronically and give consent. Those without email or smartphone access, unable to consent, or not fluent in English cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests an electronic tool where patients report issues that might delay their cancer treatment. It aims to identify if there's a link between race, social factors, and treatment delays using patient feedback and health records.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves completing weekly surveys rather than testing medications, there are no direct medical side effects associated with participating in this research.
