Scoping review protocol of person- and patient-centred outcomes in cancer clinical trials: definitions and methodologies.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Traditional oncology outcome measures, such as survival rates and disease progression, fail to fully capture the complex lived experiences of persons and patients with cancer, including psychological distress, financial burdens and changes in social roles. While person- and patient-centred outcomes have emerged as essential components of quality cancer care, ambiguities persist regarding their definitions and measurement methodologies in clinical trials.

Methods and analysis

This scoping review aims to explore how person-centred and patient-centred outcomes are defined and measured in cancer clinical trials and to identify trends, gaps and methodological approaches for their assessment. Comprehensive searches will be conducted across PubMed, SCOPUS, Sci-Elo, EMB
