breast cancer canada is excited to announce the significant strides we are making with our progress tracker breast cancer registry.
this is a pioneering initiative dedicated to enhancing our understanding of breast cancer through the lens of patient lived experiences. the national registry collects patient reported outcomes (pro) data, offering invaluable insights into the diverse journeys of breast cancer patients from across canada.
progress tracker leverages comprehensive questionnaires to gather data from individuals diagnosed with breast cancer at any stage. participants share their experiences from diagnosis through treatment and surveillance, completing these questionnaires four times a year. this approach ensures a continuous and detailed collection of information that reflects the real-world challenges and outcomes faced by breast cancer patients.
by compiling this data into a robust database, researchers and clinicians can analyze large-scale population responses, providing a rich resource to identify trends, issues, and areas for improvement from the patient perspective. the ultimate goal is to use these insights to enhance care strategies, inform policy decisions, and improve the overall quality of life for those affected by breast cancer.
