She shares specific questionnaires and tools used to measure patient quality of life, strategies she recommends providers implement to optimize patient quality of life and how providers can incorporate these assessments into practice.
She also tells us about her research on quality of life in patients with prostate cancer treated with chemohormonal therapy and how they are incorporating patient-reported outcomes into clinical trials at Northwestern Medicine.
