Web-Based Application for Monitoring Radiation Therapy Complications in Cancer Patients

Conditions studied

Gynecologic Cancer, Urologic Cancer, Breast Cancer

About this study

Cancer treatment is multidisciplinary and may include radiotherapy. Treatment-related complications represent a burden for patients and the healthcare system. Early recognition of radiotherapy-related side effects is important for timely clinical interventions and improved quality of care. This study aims to improve comprehensive patient management during and after radiotherapy through development and implementation of a web-based application using standardized electronic patient-reported outcome questionnaires (PROMs). Patients will report radiotherapy-related symptoms and quality of life through web-based questionnaires that will be securely transmitted to the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana for review by healthcare professionals. Responses will be categorized using a traffic-light system to guide clinical actions and optimize follow-up visits.

Interventions

• Other: Web-Based Application for PROM Monitoring During Radiotherapy — Participants use a web-based application to complete standardized electronic PROM questionnaires on radiotherapy-related side effects and quality of life. Data are securely transmitted to the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, reviewed by healthcare professionals, and used for clinical triage and optimization of follow-up visits.

Primary outcomes

• Prediction of Radiotherapy-Related Adverse Effects Using Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) (From baseline (start of radiotherapy) through 2 years after completion of radiotherapy.)
