A randomized trial of the impact of symptom monitoring using an electronic patient-reported outcome app on health-related quality of life in postmenopausal breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy.

Background: Electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) monitoring is a useful communication tool for cancer patients and healthcare providers. In this study, we examined the impact of symptom monitoring using an ePRO app on quality of life (QoL) in postmenopausal breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy.

Application of Personal Health Record in Enhancing the Quality of Life in Patients With Breast Cancer Who Received Adjuvant Hormonal Therapy.

Objective: Recently, personal health records (PHR) have become a communication tool between patients and medical professionals. PHR applications (PHR app) can be installed on smartphones to record patient-reported outcomes (PROs). This study prospectively examined whether patients with breast cancer could record PROs, including subjective and objective symptoms, on PHR app.
