Study Details

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is an umbrella term that refers to any report on a health status measure that is reported directly by the patient, without the influence of clinicians or anyone else. PROMs have been shown to more closely reflect a patient's daily health status when compared to physician-reported measures. However, research is needed to evaluate if patient symptom reporting during definitive-intent radiotherapy allows earlier and improved detection of treatment toxicity. The IMPROVE pilot study will describe the proportion of patients with cancer with changes in physician-perception of treatment-related toxicity that result from routine physician review of PROMs reported during definitive radiotherapy.
