A Computer-Based System for Symptom Reporting in Patients With Cancer Undergoing Treatment

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Caregiver, Malignant Neoplasm

In brief

This pilot trial studies the usability and usefulness of a computer-based system for reporting symptoms in patients with cancer undergoing treatment. Cancer patients undergoing cancer treatment are not always comfortable contacting the doctor when experiencing symptoms. A computer based platform, where patients can input symptoms, may seem less intrusive than a phone call and may improve patient access to care.
