Background: Utilising electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) to monitor symptoms can improve patient outcomes. However, ePRO systems are typically not co-designed with end-users which may limit their utility and long-term sustainability. We aimed to co-design a real-time ePRO symptom monitoring system for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) toxicities.

Article Synopsis
  • STK11 gene mutations are linked to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, which increases the risk of various cancers, including gastrointestinal and breast cancers.
  • The article describes a rare case of an STK11-associated adnexal tumor in a 39-year-old woman who previously had malignant mesothelioma.
  • The need for careful diagnosis and further analysis of STK11 adnexal tumors is highlighted due to their uncommon occurrence and unclear pathology.

Introduction: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are validated and standardised questionnaires that capture patients' own reports of their symptoms, functioning and well-being. PROMs can facilitate communication between patients and clinicians, reduce symptom burden, enhance quality of life and inform health service re-design. We aim to determine the acceptability of PROMs and the preferred timing of PROM completion in New South Wales (NSW) at the point of care, facilitated by the Health Outcomes and Patient Experiences (HOPE) platform.

Purpose: Electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) symptom monitoring may support the safe delivery of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). There is no consensus on which side effects should be monitored in routine care. We aimed to develop a prioritized list of ICI side effects to include in ePRO systems and compare this to existing ICI-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
