Evaluating a Digital Tool for Supporting Breast Cancer Patients: A Prospective Randomised Controlled Trial
This is a prospective randomised controlled trial that aims to understand the impact of the OWise breast cancer digital tool in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. Half the patients will receive the digital tool and half the patients will receive standard information. The study will look at the impact of the digital tool on patient activation, health related quality of life (HRQoL), health status, psychological distress, NHS resource utilisation and health care costs.

Evaluating, Following, and Supporting Breast Cancer Patients in a Better Way
The current observational study aims at analysing current semiology on breast cancer patients aiming at noting indicators and signs with significant relationship with the disease outcomes. To reach the primary objective, of identifying most prominent indicators and signs, a study group of at least 100 female patients with breast cancer diagnosis will be recruited to participate voluntarily. The study group will include at least 20 patients with metastatic cancer and 30 patients with indication to adjuvant chemotherapy. Their physical activity habits and lifestyle will be noted. The observational study will consist in the periodic registration of the overall physical and psychological condition. The variables and tests below will be measured and registered, periodically: - periodical assessment of the quality of life - periodical assessment of the fitness status of the subjects - assessment of changes in bone density/progression of osteoporosis - assessment of changes in cognitive function - assessment of sleep disorders The collected results will be statistically analysed, in order to: - Identify variables that are statistically significantly different from expected values - quantify statistically significant differences, whenever possible The results will be used to better describe the breast cancer population

Big Data and Models for Personalized Head and Neck Cancer Decision Support (BD2Decide)
The purpose of this study is to determine new multiscale signatures for the prediction of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients disease outcome, in particular for advanced stage (stage III, IV) human papillomavirus (HPV) negative patients and to validate prognostic models for overall survival.

Evaluation Of CanADVICE+®M-Health System To Support Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Capecitabine
This feasibility study will be conducted in order to provide proof of concept for the CanADVICE+® system comprising a smart phone app and a healthcare organization server side application based on Web 2 technologies. The main objective of this project is to optimise pharmaceutical counselling services by providing drug related information, in a digital format, to patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving Capecitabine.

Effects of a Multifaceted Teleguided Pain Care Program in Patients With Cancer Pain
Pain is a prevalent and distressing symptom in patients with cancer, having an enormous impact on functioning and quality of life. Integration of patient self-management and professional care by means of care technology provides new opportunities in the outpatient setting. In this project a technology based and nurse delivered multicomponent self-management support intervention has been developed. Important components include monitoring, feedback, education, and nurse support. Following feasibility evaluation, the primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effect of the intervention regarding pain intensity and quality of life as compared to care as usual. Secondary outcomes of the effect evaluation are self-efficacy, knowledge, anxiety and depression, and pain medication use. Besides, a cost-evaluation and summative process evaluation will be performed.

Behavioral Support to Cancer Patients Before Anesthesia
Studies shows that reduced nervousness before anaesthesia may improve a course past anaesthesia. Therefore it is interesting to investigate how we can best help patients shortly before anaesthesia. A RCT with three intervention arms (with different personal support) and a control arm (with usual personal support) is therefore performed. Hypothesis: Nervousness is reduced by the new interventions compared to the usual help provided.

Effects of Internet Support for Cancer Patients on Health Outcomes, Health Care Utilization and Costs: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Being diagnosed and treated for cancer is usually associated with severe physical symptoms, impaired functional status, complex emotional, psychosocial and existential issues and substantial worries. Failure to help patients with their problems and worries can unnecessarily delay patients' recovery and rehabilitation, lead to chronic functional impairments, anxiety and depression and prolong patients' needs for health care and social services. The objectives of this interdisciplinary, international research project that includes collaboration with HELFO (The Norwegian Health Economy Administration), are to test and compare, in a randomized, controlled trial (RCT), the effects of (1) a practice-integrated online patient-provider communication (OPPC) service including access to asking questions to HELFO, (2) a multi-component Interactive Health Communication Application (IHCA) called WebChoice, and (3) usual care on: patient outcomes, health care and social services use and costs. Breast cancer patients undergoing treatment at three different hospitals in Norway will be randomized into two experimental and one control groups and will be followed with 5 repeated measures over one year. The proposed study will contribute to innovative methods and technologies that can radically improve patient-provider communication, care quality, and continuity of care. The two interventions tested in this study, the OPPC service with and without additional features of WebChoice, represent new forms of interactions and information sharing between patients and clinicians where patients can get seamless access to communication and information services from where and whenever they need it. This could significantly contribute to reducing unnecessary suffering, less fragmented health care, better efficiency, patient safety, patient satisfaction and have an impact on patients' health services utilization. The investigators' work addresses, therefore, important health policy goals with the potential for considerable societal gains.

Internet-based Support in the Rehabilitation of Danish Cancer Survivors
This 2-arm randomized trial assessed the incremental effect of providing a lecture on Internet use followed by participation in an Internet-based peer support group following a week-long rehabilitation program, over and above any possible general effect of participation in the rehabilitation program. Primary outcome measures are adjustment to cancer and mood disturbance.

Advancing the Science of Symptom Management and Support for Cancer Patients and Their Caregivers
The complexity of cancer patients' symptoms and health problems constitutes considerable distress and burden for patients and their family caregivers. To help them manage the illness effectively, there is a need to better understand the complexity of symptoms and symptom clusters in patients and caregivers. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to explore a set of important fundamental research questions to advance the scientific knowledge of cancer patients' and caregivers' symptoms, symptom clusters and health-related quality of life. The investigators will follow 500 cancer patients and their caregivers with repeated measures over 6 months to assess their symptoms, symptom clusters, and quality of life over time. Caregiver burden will also be examined in the caregivers.
