Article Synopsis
- CAR T-cell therapy can cause serious side effects, highlighting the need to understand patient experiences and quality of life through patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
- A study identified 178 relevant symptoms and concepts from 44 articles, which were categorized into four key areas: symptom burden, treatment impact, tolerability, and health-related quality of life.
- A conceptual framework was developed to improve the collection of PRO data, ensuring that patient perspectives are considered in managing treatment for those with blood cancers undergoing CAR T-cell therapy.
Article Synopsis
- CAR T-cell therapies are new treatments for blood cancers but can cause serious side effects, so patients need careful monitoring.
- This study is creating a digital system where patients can report their health and symptoms online to help their doctors keep track of their condition.
- The research will involve different groups like patients, doctors, and researchers to test how well this system works and if it's easy for patients to use.
Background: The study evaluates whether Optison used during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) will improve endocardial border definition and whether this will translate to an improvement in sensitivity and specificity of the test in patients with poor echocardiographic windows. DSE is extremely valuable in the workup of patients with coronary artery disease. The test is limited in patients with suboptimal endocardial border visualization.
