Self-advocacy training within a peer navigation model in advanced cancer: a pilot study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeNavigation is an evidence-based model of cancer care designed to address barriers to quality care. Minimal work has been done to explore peer navigation models to improve patients' supportive care needs, including conceptually grounded training in how patients should self-advocate. This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of training peer navigators to support underserved patients' ability to self-advocate, especially patients with advanced cancer.
methodsWe designed training based on peer navigation and patient self-advocacy frameworks. We recruited adults with experience as a cancer patient interested in becoming a peer navigator for people with cancer through an ongoing clinical trial and a public research registry. Eligible participants who consented to this pilot trial completed navigation and patient self-advocacy training. We calculated feasibility metrics (e.g., approach-to-consent rates, consent-to-complete rates, and reasons for attrition) and conducted one-on-one interviews and self-reported measures to assess acceptability.
resultsBetween November 2024 and January 2025, we approached 13 individuals and 9 (69.2%) consented to participate in the training. One participant withdrew prior to receiving training due to hospice enrollment. The remaining 8 (88.9%) consented participants completed the self-advocacy training, and 6 (66.7%) completed the navigation training with noncompleters citing time constraints and technical difficulties. Participants expressed feeling confident in being able to provide peer navigation and gave feedback on ways to improve the training.
conclusionsIndividuals with cancer who are from disadvantaged backgrounds and living with advanced cancer can be trained to provide peer navigation and self-advocacy support to other patients with cancer.
