Electronic patient-reported monitoring of symptoms during follow-up of ovarian cancer patients: a feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ovarian cancer patients require monitoring for relapse. Innovative follow-up methods are increasingly being explored. An electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) follow-up pathway was developed for women treated for ovarian cancer. This feasibility study explored patient acceptability and compliance.
