Measuring What Matters: Patient-Reported Outcomes in Colon Cancer Care

Abstract

Patients have common and personalized questions about expected outcomes after colon cancer treatment. Surgeons and oncologists can use high-quality clinical counseling and patient-reported outcomes to identify what matters most to each patient. This article reviews common patient-centered outcomes and how to elicit personalized outcomes, preferences, and values for patients facing colon cancer.
