Changes in Patient-Reported Health Status in Advanced Cancer Patients from a Symptom Management Clinic: A Longitudinal Study Conducted in China.

The health status of Chinese advanced cancer patients under ePRO follow-up in China significantly improves in the physical and psychological dimensions, accompanied by a decrease in usual activities and self-care. Routine screening and rational supportive care are recommended in oncology for cancer care. Based on the rational application of ePRO, longitudinal studies exploring the potential mechanisms of health status changing would provide more beneficial guidance for improving the quality of life in patients with advanced cancer.
