Update: 2012-09-24
Description
David Larkin talks to ecancer at ICCN 17, in Prague, about the ‘Checklist’ software where patients track their management of symptoms and treatment and various methods in combating side effects.
This self-reporting software allows patients to record what they experience on a day-to-day basis, as well as monitor their treatment and any irregularities. The software was developed in the early 2000s.
Studies found patients who accepted their symptoms often found a strong sense of relief and alleviation. The most common method people used was altering lifestyle, for example changing diet because of nausea and change of taste due to chemotherapy.
Mr Larkin also discusses the differences between cultures in combating with the symptoms and frequency of occurrence.
