Summary

The questionnaire for assessment of adverse events after completion of cancer treatment, which is being piloted at the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute, aims to detect a wide range of adverse effects early on, thus facilitating adequate intervention and planning of follow-up care for all cancer survivors.

Detailed description

According to the current recommendations of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), comprehensive care for cancer survivors should focus on five main areas: 1) the physical effects of the disease and subsequent treatment, 2) the psychological effects of the disease and treatment, 3) the social, occupational, and financial impacts of the disease and treatment, 4) early detection of recurrence or subsequent primary malignancies, and last but not least, 5) prevention of cancer and promotion of healthy lifestyles. The proposed questionnaire should effectively and comprehensively reflect both the physical problems typically associated with a given diagnosis and the psychological, social, occupational, and financial impacts. It should also focus the physician's attention on interventions aimed at healthy lifestyles (smoking cessation, obesity prevention, sufficient physical activity) to maintain the health of cancer survivors.
