Interested in this study

An early version of an online platform for managing hot flushes and night sweats after cancer has been developed by a team of researchers from the University of Melbourne, Universities of Western Sydney, Western Australia, and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in collaboration with various cancer consumer organisations.

This platform allows women living with and beyond to assess their symptoms and receive personalised recommendations for symptom management.

As a woman living with and beyond breast cancer and experiencing hot flushes and night sweats, you are invited to participate in the initial testing phase of this platform. This process will help us evaluate the platform's effectiveness and gather your valuable feedback for improvements.

The project has received human research ethics approval (HREC Number: <insert>).

If interested, please click on this < link >. You will be asked to complete a short 3-minute survey to determine your eligibility.

If eligible, you will be invited will complete another survey. Eligible participants will use either the MSC website or other credible menopause websites to follow for 3 months, then complete a survey about your experience. You will be asked to continue using your assigned website for another 3 months and complete a final survey at 6 months. Participants will be remunerated for their time and support.

Hot flushes and night sweats are common among women living with and beyond cancer and can negatively impact quality of life. Many women either never receive treatment for these symptoms or find their current treatments ineffective. In fact, more than 60% of women who have had cancer want more support in managing these symptoms.

Researchers at the University of Melbourne, Universities of Western Sydney, Western Australia, and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre have developed an MySurvivorCare (MSC) platform that offers personalised guidance on managing hot flushes and night sweats.

Given the important role GPs play in the management of the long-term management of symptoms from cancer and its treatment, your input is crucial. We need to know if this model for delivering menopause after cancer care is useful for both you and your patient.

Your feedback will help us create a platform that is practical, easy to use, and caters for GPs needs. This project has human research ethics approval from The University of Melbourne, HREC Number: <insert>
