  poster_title: 'Quality of life follow-up cohort of patients with  incurable cancer and their caregivers attending  regional cancer centers - study  protocol/HA23C042723C042'
  short_biography_: |-
    Introduction: Cancer patients experience physical, mental, and social pain, impacting both the patient and their family. Increasing cancer incidence and advances in treatment both increase the number of cancer survivors in Korea. Because patients flock to Seoul and the metropolitan areas, continuous care and comprehensive life support are lacking. Traveling long distances for treatment causes logistical and quality-of-life challenges for patients traveling for care. Method: This prospective cohort study targets incurable cancer patients (n=720) and their families (n=288) from ten regional cancer centers and two affiliated hospitals in Korea. Sub-cohorts are based on treatment refusal, Neurologic complications,  catheter-related symptoms, and skeletal-related events. Medical records and patient-reported outcomes will be collected every three months up to three years following, with surveys for guardians conducted for a year post-patient demise. Discussion: Cancer's dynamic nature significantly affects both patients and their caregivers. Identifying factors impacting their quality of life is crucial for integrating them healthily into society. The establishment of a regional cancer center consortium, guided by the findings of this study, aims to address and improve the unmet needs of local cancer patients and their families,  enhancing overall quality of life and contributing to the well-being of our local community.

     This study was supported by the National R&D Program for Cancer Control through the National Cancer  Center (NCC) funded by the Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea (RS-2023-CC138341).
