Description
Daria Filippini and seven co-authors check how often cancer trials ask patients how they feel. Their review, from two thousand twenty-four, covers trials for head and neck cancer over fifteen years. These patients face harsh symptoms from both the disease and its treatment. Yet a trial can miss that burden if it only tracks scans and survival.
The team screened more than two thousand reports and kept one hundred fifty-eight trials. Quality of life was the main goal in just two of them. It was a side goal in about a quarter. Use grew over time, and half of the large late-stage trials included it. The authors urge trial teams to ask patients directly, as a matter of routine.
