Background: Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) often presents with aggressive clinical behaviour that may require multimodality treatment based on reliable prognostication. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic ability of five online web-based tools to predict the clinical behaviour of OTSCC resection and biopsy samples.

Methods: A total of 135 OTSCC resection cases and 33 OTSCC biopsies were included to predict recurrence and survival. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC), χ tests, and calibration plots constructed to estimate the prognostic power of each tool.

Results: The tool entitled 'Prediction of risk of Locoregional Recurrences in Early OTSCC' presented an accuracy of 82%. The tool, 'Head & Neck Cancer Outcome Calculator' for 10-year cancer-related mortality had an accuracy 77% and AUC 0.858. The other tool entitled 'Cancer Survival Rates' for 5-year mortality showed an accuracy of 74% and AUC of 0.723. For biopsy samples, 'Cancer Survival Prediction Calculators' predicted the recurrence free survival with an accuracy of 70%.

Conclusions: Web-based tools can aid in clinical decision making of OTSCC. Three of five online web-based tools could predict recurrence risk and cancer-related mortality in resected OTSCC and one tool could help in clinical decision making for biopsy samples.

Purpose: Financial toxicity (FT) has been linked to higher symptom burden and poorer clinical outcomes for patients with cancer. Despite the availability of validated tools to measure FT, a simple screen remains an unmet need. We evaluated item 12 ("My illness has been a financial hardship to my family and me") of the COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) measure as a single-item FT screening measure.

Background: Patient portals, or secure websites linked to electronic medical records, have emerged as tools to provide patients with timely access to their health information. To support the potential benefits of patient portals such as improved engagement in health care, it is essential to understand how patients and caregivers experience these portals.

Objective: This study aimed to explore patient and caregiver experiences, facilitators, and barriers to accessing and using a patient portal called MyChart during the initial stages of its implementation.
