Summary
This study looked at whether asking cancer patients to report their own symptoms during radiation treatment helps doctors notice and manage side effects better. 104 adults with lung, esophageal, or other gastrointestinal cancers took part. Doctors reviewed patient-reported symptoms at weekly visits and adjusted care accordingly. The goal was to see if this approach changes how doctors perceive treatment burden.
