Does screening for physical and psychosocial symptoms vary between medical oncology treatment centres?

ConclusionsNo significant variation in symptom screening was found across treatment centres. While the majority of patients received recommended care, treatment centres must continue to improve symptom screening rates, particularly for emotional distress. However, screening is only the first step and must be accompanied by the offer of help and provision of help to relieve patient suffering. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
