Pain in Cancer Survivors

Completed

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Lung Cancer

In brief

The purpose of this study is to find out about the pain and quality of life of individuals who are adult cancer survivors. By quality of life, we mean how you are feeling about different aspects of your life, including your physical health, your emotional health, and your ability to carry out daily activities. We are interested in people's opinions about their quality of life, as well as the factors that affect their quality of life. In addition, learning about pain will help us to develop new services for adult cancer survivors.
