Research summary
This project aims to enhance the support for patients with breast and bowel cancer after treatment. Current follow-up care includes either self-management with patient-initiated contacts (breast cancer) or scheduled hospital visits for scans/tests for recurrence (bowel cancer). Building on extensive experience with online patient self-reporting of symptoms during treatment, we plan to develop, implement and evaluate satisfaction with an improved electronic system to engage breast and bowel cancer survivors to self-report symptoms/problems online from home and get immediate tailored advice for self-management or hospital contact. The reports are displayed real-time in the hospital records alongside scans/tests to inform clinical management.
