Patient-centered engagement and symptom/toxicity monitoring in the new era of tumor next-generation sequencing and immunotherapy: the OncoTool and OncoPRO platforms.
This paper describes the development of the OncoTool and OncoPRO platforms to help patients with late-stage cancer (stages III-IV) and their providers in providing patient-centered education and remote and routine monitoring of symptoms and toxicities after tumor next-generation sequencing testing and treatment. The OncoTool is a web-based educational resource tailored for people with advanced cancer. It aims to provide patients with easy-to-understand treatment options and associated toxicities as well as evidence-based strategies for managing symptoms and improving stress management. It is fully integrated with OncoPRO which provides feedback on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to clinicians. The data from the platform can be integrated with the patient’s electronic health record (HER) and can provide an alert message. These systems are currently being tested with 4 trials – 1 for OncoTool and the other 3 for OncoPRO.

A flexible model for patient engagement: achieving quality outcomes and building a research agenda for head and neck cancer.
This article describes the work of a head and neck cancer survivors who became advisors on a multidisciplinary team of providers. The survivors provided feedback to providers on areas of improvement for clinical flow and they also have provided advice on efforts to increase public awareness. They have also been very active at cancer symposiums and other local presentations.
