Summary

The goal of this prospective 1:1 randomized controlled trial is to evaluate if an online patient navigation program, designed to identify targeted supportive care needs and to facilitate referrals and web-based interventions to address these needs, can increase patients' access to supportive care services, compared to traditional in-person patient navigation providing referrals to in-person supportive care services. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does online patient navigation increase access to supportive care services among patients with breast cancer? * Which are the barriers that hinder patients' access to the supportive care services they require? * What is patients' level of satisfaction with online patient navigation? Participants will: * Participate in an online or in-person patient navigation program for 4 weeks * Answer the study surveys at baseline and 4 weeks of follow-up

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Online patient navigation and supportive care referrals	In the online patient navigation program, a navigator will use validated instruments to identify participants\' need for nutrition, psychology, and sexology counseling, and will refer them to the required services. Referrals will be made to web-based, systematic supportive care resources consisting of pre-recorded videos led by specialists and which will be available on a study-specific website, allowing each participant to access the resources as soon as they receive a referral. Additionally, online support groups will be held monthly to complement the supportive care programs.
OTHER	In-person patient navigation and supportive care referrals	In the in-person patient navigation program, a navigator will use validated instruments to identify participants\' need for nutrition, psychology, and sexology counseling, and will refer them to the required services.
