Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Consultation by a trained physician
The physicians of this group receive a free consultation training program on skills regarding consultations on complementary medicine for breast-cancer patients. The training was developed by a multi-professional team and is comprised of three parts: (1) online-training, (2) on-site-training, and (3) consultation manual. Each of the physicians will counsel 10 patients. The patients in this group therefore receive a consultation by a trained physician.
