Symptoms of cancer are not just physical. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) allow clinicians to go beyond basic symptom screening and also understand the psychosocial and practical concerns of the patient.
With a complete picture of the cancer journey in detail, the health care team can develop care plans tailored to each patient.
For patients, completing questionnaires that track their symptoms over time allows them to talk to their healthcare team about a treatment plan that is best to reduce and manage their symptoms.
Production of this video has been made possible through a financial contribution by Health Canada, through the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.
