Furthermore, ePRO follow-up resulted in better QoL, improved ECOG status and more active cancer treatments at disease relapse, and improved survival among cancer survivals. The current study investigates electronic patient reported outcome tool in the follow-up of cancer patients receiving chemotherapies or targeted therapies. The aims of the current study are: 1) The number of alerts triggered by Kaiku Cancer medical treatment side-effects questionnaire and their correlation to treatment side-effects, other relevant medical events, tumor progression, and survival 2) Changes in Kaiku QLQ-C30 QoL questionnaire and their correlation to cancer treatment response, side-effects, other relevant medical event or survival 3) Patient compliance to Kaiku ePRO surveillance during treatment period according to response rates of Patient experience survey, Kaiku Cancer medical treatment side-effects questionnaire and Kaiku QLQ-C30 QoL questionnaire In addition, in the CRC (colorectal cancer) cohort: 1. Integration of laboratory values to patient reported symptoms when prescribing a new chemotherapy cycle 2. Number of phone calls related to prescribing a new chemotherapy cycle 3. Unscheduled doctor appointments in oncology unit 4. ER visits 5. Days in hospitalization 6. Unscheduled investigations in health care 7. Development of peripheral neurotoxicity 8.
