“Many patients are living longer with cancer and are undergoing treatment for extended periods,” said Ethan Basch, MD, MSc, Distinguished Professor and director of the Cancer Outcomes Research Program at UNC Lineberger, and the study’s lead author. “We designed a strategy to help care teams better connect with patients when they're at home between visits, with an aim to catch symptoms early before they worsen and cause complications, unnecessary suffering, or avoidable hospitalizations.”
