Electronic Medical Record Review in Monitoring the Effects of Adherence on Myelosuppression and Morbidity in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Brain Tumors Receiving Temozolomide and Radiation Therapy
Completed
Conditions studied: Brain Tumor
In brief
This research trial studies electronic medical record review in monitoring the effects of adherence on myelosuppression and morbidity in patients with newly diagnosed brain tumors receiving temozolomide and radiation therapy. Myelosuppression is a condition in which bone marrow activity is decreased, resulting in fewer red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets and is a side effect of some cancer treatments. Morbidity is a term that refers to having a symptom of disease or medical problems caused by a treatment. Monitoring patients' electronic medical records to compare side effects, such as myelosuppression and morbidity, with treatment adherence may be a way to enhance patient care by organizing data for medical staff.
