Assessing the Impact of Electronic Capture of Patient Reported Outcomes in Radiation Oncology

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, or gynecologic cancer
receiving definitive external beam radiotherapy.

- Must be ≥ 18 years of age

- Able to read, write, and speak English in order to complete patient reported
outcomes.

Patients will be approached about the study at the time of consultation or at the time of
simulation by their treating physicians or by a research coordinator. All patients must
sign a study-specific informed consent to participate. All patients, including those who
do not choose to consent to the study, will be provided with a short survey to assess
health literacy using the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS).

For those not consenting to the study, the survey will be de-identified and will also ask
for basic demographic information including age grouping, race, education level, and type
of cancer.
