Co-occurrence of symptoms after radiochemotherapy in locally advanced cervix cancer patients: a cluster analysis

CONCLUSIONS: This analysis on both PRO and physician-assessed morbidity found a cluster associated with general symptoms and organ-related symptom clusters (urinary, gastrointestinal, vaginal). This shows that LACC survivors experience a variety of co-occurring symptoms. Our analysis also shows that the cluster of general symptoms is associated with a decrease in QOL.PMID:37906286 | DOI:10.1080/0284186X.2023.2271252
