Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and HRQOL in Cancer Patients and Survivors
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study uses questionnaires to gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of COVID-19 status, may have impacted health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress, disruptions to health care, finances and social interactions in cancer patients. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The information learned from this study will guide the development of psychosocial programs to improve patient care and outcomes in cancer patients and survivors in the context of facing a global pandemic.
