The KAPS-C Study: exploring knowledge and attitudes towards probiotic supplement use among people with cancer

Summary

We are conducting a survey on attitudes, awareness and use of probiotics in people previously or currently diagnosed with cancer. We are doing this in order to better understand probiotics' role in cancer care, to more effectively address the health needs of people with cancer. The findings will provide useful information to create better resources for patients and health care providers and help people make informed decisions about probiotic use in their treatment stategies.
