Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Patients will visit in person the Survivorship Clinic at the baseline and end of the study (12-month) at the ORCHID center in the Cork University Hospital (Cork, Ireland).
During these visits, baseline and end of the study assessments will be made. Patients will receive routine standard information, a care plan and resources about survivorship at the baseline visit.
Patients will receive a Survivorship Personal Treatment Plan by the nurse from the Women's Health Initiative Survivorship Clinic according to the results from the baseline ePROs. In addition to that, each 2 months for a period of 12 months, the patient will be answering ePROs. The nurse will undertake an intervention when needed based as per the Trigger system (developed form ePROs responses) or clinical judgement.
Other names: Complex Intervention
Patients will receive Diet Education and Personalised Nutrition Counselling by the dietitian from the Women's Health Initiative Survivorship Clinic at the baseline. In addition to that, each 2 months for a period of 12 months, the patient will be answering ePROs. The dietitian will undertake an intervention when needed as per the Trigger system (developed form ePROs responses) or clinical judgement.
Other names: Complex Intervention
Time frame: At the baseline
Number of patients who were eligible and accepted to participate in the study. This will be recorded in the electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF).
Time frame: At the baseline
The reasons for not enrolling will be asked to the patient considering and clusters of option groups will be done.This will be recorded in the electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF).
Time frame: During the study period (12-month)
Patients will be contacted to ask about the reasons for not completing the intervention. This will be recorded in the electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF).
Time frame: Baseline, each 2 months till end intervention (12 months)
Number of enrolled patients who complete the baseline and follow-up ePRO surveys. This will be recorded in the ePROs.
Time frame: Baseline, each 2 months till end intervention (12 months)
A trigger system with the ePRO measurements has been developed to assess symptoms deterioration that will require that the nurse or Dietitian contact the patient. This will be recorded in the electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF).
Time frame: Baseline, each 2 months till end intervention (12 months)
Time spent by the Nurse, the Dietitian and other Health Care Professionals (HCP) from the Women Survivorship Clinic during consultation will be collected. This will be recorded in the electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF).
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the study (12-month); intervention arm month 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
The cancer-related symptoms items will be assessed by the validated Patient-Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE™) item library and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) item library.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
All patients will answer at the baseline and at the end of the intervention EORTC QLQ-C30 (30 items). The scoring will be performed according to the EORTC scoring manual. All scores will be linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale. A high or healthy level of functioning represents a high functional score.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
Cohort of patients who had breast cancer will answer at the baseline and at the end of the intervention EORTC QLQ Breast Cancer Module (BR23). The scoring will be performed according to the EORTC scoring manual. All scores will be linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale. A high or healthy level of functioning represents a high functional score.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
Cohort of patients who had cervical cancer will answer at the baseline and at the end of the intervention EORTC QLQ Cervical Cancer Module (CX24). The scoring will be performed according to the EORTC scoring manual. All scores will be linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale. A high or healthy level of functioning represents a high functional score.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
Cohort of patients who had endometrial cancer will answer at the baseline and at the end of the intervention EORTC QLQ Endometrial Cancer Module (EN24). The scoring will be performed according to the EORTC scoring manual. All scores will be linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale. A high or healthy level of functioning represents a high functional score.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
All patients will answer the EQ-5D-5L-QALY at the baseline and at the end of the intervention. A high score represents high functionality problems.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
All patients will answer at the baseline and at the end of the intervention the Appraisal Self-Care Agency-R (15 items). The higher the score, the better the self-care agency
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the study (12-month); intervention arm month 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
All patients will self-report their adherence at the baseline and at the end of the study. The intervention arm will be asked about it every 2 months.
Time frame: Intervention arms at the end of the intervention (12-month)
Patients in the intervention arm will complete the Usability and Satisfaction Scale (Lewis, 1995) at the end of the intervention. The higher the score, the better usability and satisfaction from the participant.
Time frame: Intervention arms at the end of the intervention (12-month)
Qualitative data collection will be done via Interviews/Focus Groups at the end of the intervention.
Time frame: Both arms at the end of the intervention (12-month)
The main sources from which this data will be collected include: patient hospital record forms, case report forms, use of resources forms, and patient diaries.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
All patients will answer at the baseline and at the end of the intervention the FFQ. All patients will answer at the baseline and at the end of the intervention the Food Frequency Questionnaire. Data will be entered in to the FFQ European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Tool for Analysis (FETA). FETA calculates the average daily intake of 46 nutrients and 14 food groups, for each individual. The default nutrients list provides a description of each nutrient/food group and the units used. The nutrient data for the FFQ foods have come from McCance and Widdowson's "The Composition of Foods (5th edition)" and its associated supplements.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
All patients will answer at the baseline and at the end of the intervention the WCRF/AICR. The higher the score, the better Diet quality.

The dietitian will perform physical assessments of each patient at the baseline and at the end of the study. Weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2. Patients in the intervention arm will self-report weight in kg every 2 months.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
The dietitian will perform physical assessments of each patient at the baseline and at the end of the study. Weight and body fat will be combined to report LBM in kg*(Percentage body/100).
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
The dietitian will perform physical assessments of each patient at the baseline and at the end of the study. Waist circumference will be measured in cm.

The dietitian will perform physical assessments on each patient at the baseline and at the end of the study. Weight (Kg) and body fat (%) and Total Body Water (TBW) will be combined to report the Body Composition score.
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
The dietitian will perform physical assessments to each patient at the baseline and at the end of the study. Muscle strength will be measured using hand grip strength (HGS) based on the Jamar Dynamometer (Model 091011725).
Time frame: Both arms at the baseline and at the end of the intervention (12-month)
All patients will complete the MST at the baseline and at the end of the intervention. Patients in the intervention arm answer the MST each 2 months. The higher the score, the higher risk of malnutrition.
