Patient-reported outcome tools in musculoskeletal oncology

J Surg Oncol. 2023 Sep;128(3):418-424. doi: 10.1002/jso.27386.

Abstract

Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) are collected directly from the patient and have become increasingly utilized in the clinical setting and in clinical research. In musculoskeletal oncology patients, a number of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROM) have been developed and investigated to evaluate functional outcomes and health-related quality of life in these patients. With the growing evidence for PROM in musculoskeletal oncology patients, PROM should be considered for the clinical care of these patients.

Keywords: PRO; PROM; musculoskeletal oncology; patient-reported outcome; patient-reported outcome measure.
