Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This patient registry is using the registry as a framework to collect data on patient demographics including family history, relevant clinical results, treatment history, participant and survival status.
The data is obtained from participating hospitals accessing the medical records by hospital staff/ authorised staff.
Patients are asked to complete the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QUALMS questionnaire as part of their follow up appointments whilst being at the hospital or can be send out via email, if that is an option for the patient. This is anticipated to take about 15-20 minutes. The questionnaires occur 6 monthly up to 3 years. Depending on the set up patients can complete the questionnaire via email link at home in their own time and by submitting this information is directly captured in an electronic case report form (CRF). If the patient is at the hospital, the questionnaires will be provided and to be completed after the appointment. A nurse or trained staff will assist to answer questions, if necessary, check for completeness and will collect the questionnaires to enter into the database.
