Study Description
Brief Summary: The primary research objective of this protocol is to evaluate the impact of integrating a home-based symptom monitoring system in the day-to-day care of cancer patients in community settings on the frequency of supportive symptom interventions, symptom severity, and quality of life.
Detailed Description: Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will be offered an Internet assisted home-based symptom reporting system Cancer Symptom Monitor (CSM) for a twelve-month study period. Patient and care team evaluations will be measured using quantitative and qualitative methods (via focus groups). The second group will receive "standard care" without home-based symptom monitoring. Both groups will be evaluated at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, \& 12 months, for symptom levels and overall quality of life during the twelve-month study period.
