Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This pilot trial studies the usability and usefulness of a computer-based system for reporting symptoms in patients with cancer undergoing treatment. Cancer patients undergoing cancer treatment are not always comfortable contacting the doctor when experiencing symptoms. A computer based platform, where patients can input symptoms, may seem less intrusive than a phone call and may improve patient access to care.
