Brief Summary:
The Cancer Experience Registry®: An Online Survey Research Study to Understand the Experiences of Those Impacted By a Cancer Diagnosis. The Registry is a web-based platform to distribute cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys. Study surveys are designed based on input from advisor experts, including patients and caregivers, and focus on the social, emotional, physical, financial and decision-making experiences of those who have been diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers. Findings contribute toward enhancing care for patients, survivors and caregivers via programming and policy initiatives.

Detailed Description:

The aims of the Registry are to: 1) better understand the psychosocial experiences and needs of people who have been impacted by cancer, including patients, survivors and caregivers; 2) inform the research community, healthcare providers, patient advocates and policy makers around gaps in care and the psychosocial challenges of people affected by cancer; 3) use the findings to develop and disseminate tailored (data-guided) programs and services that will address the emotional and social needs and ultimately improve the long-term quality of life of people affected by cancer; 4) link registrants to cancer related resources and programs via an online, modifiable platform; and 5) provide collaborating sites (e.g., hospitals/health networks/CSC affiliates) with aggregated reports on quality and needs of members or customers to enhance or improve quality of care.

Findings from the Registry are disseminated online at https://www.cancersupportcommunity.org/sites/default/files/file/2020-07/CSC_Registry_Report_June_2020.pdf

Study Type : Observational [Patient Registry]
Estimated Enrollment : 15000 participants
Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
Target Follow-Up Duration: 2 Years
Official Title: Cancer Experience Registry: An Online Survey Research Study to Understand the Experiences of Cancer Patients and Caregivers
Actual Study Start Date : March 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 2035
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 2035





Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Self-reported quality of life measures [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
    Participant self-reported symptoms and functioning will be measured using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Preference Score (PROMIS-Pr). Five domains assess symptoms with higher scores corresponding to worse symptomology (Depression; Anxiety; Pain Interference; Fatigue; Sleep Disturbance) and three assess function with lower scores corresponding to worse functioning (Physical Function; Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities; Cognitive Function). Participants rate each item with reference to the past seven days; function scales have no timeframe specified. Scale scores are converted to standardized T scores (mean = 50, SD = 10); normative reference groups are the U.S. general population, except Sleep Disturbance, where comparisons are to a mix of the U.S. population and people with chronic illness.
