Caribbean Metastatic Breast Cancer Care Navigation Program

“Focusing on the holistic needs of our MBC Caribbean people”

Care navigation is an integrative, multidisciplinary strategy that provides holistic patient care through intensive case management and education to empower patients to achieve enhanced quality of life.

In the Caribbean, there are very limited resources available to serve the needs of persons suffering from metastatic disease. The Caribbean Care Navigation Program (CNP) for metastatic breast cancer patients is designed to provide comprehensive care for individuals who are navigating life with MBC, focusing on improving quality of life, managing symptoms, and providing holistic support.

The program aims to help individuals cope with the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges posed by cancer, including those related to the progression of the disease, treatment, and long-term survivorship. The program will be customized from MBC patients’ lived experiences, combined with expert contributions from our regional research team.
