WP 3.6: Implementation of patient reported outcomes in melanoma treatment: Optimization of recognition and treatment of adverse effects in melanoma treatment
Sep 30, 2022
The primary aim of the project is to implement the use of the validated patient reported outcome tools “Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Melanoma” in the daily clinical work at the Department of Plastic Surgery at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital. The questionnaires include questions regarding sequelae after melanoma treatment and quality of life. By systematic collection of such information, we will be able to provide targeted, more effective treatment of adverse effects for the individual patient and hopefully improve stratification for different treatment modalities as well as quality of life. Secondarily, we also aim to implement the prospective PRO data collection in the Danish Melanoma Database on a nationwide basis to be able to monitor how this affects the quality of treatment.
