The role of patient-reported outcome measures in the continuum of cancer clinical care: ESMO Clinical Practice Guideline
Cet article présente les recommandations de l'"European Society for Medical Oncology" concernant l'utilisation, du début du traitement à la fin de vie, des symptômes déclarés par les patients
Patients with cancer frequently experience symptoms related to their disease or treatment-related toxicities. Symptom management through optimal supportive care is a foundation of quality care. While objective toxicities and laboratory results are amenable to reporting by healthcare personnel, subjective experiences such as symptoms are best reported by patients themselves.1 Traditionally, patients are relied upon to discuss symptoms and side-effects with the clinical team during hospital and clinic visits, when contacting their healthcare team between visits via telephone or, more recently, electronic messaging.
