Important Changes in Symptom Screening
• Currently, Your Symptoms Matter – General Symptoms is being used in cancer centres to help health care
providers and patients have conversations about symptoms
• While Your Symptoms Matter – General Symptoms is a useful tool for generic symptom screening, it
does not capture disease-specific concerns or the effects of specific treatments
•
Cancer Centre has now implemented Your Symptoms Matter – Prostate Cancer
• Your Symptoms Matter – Prostate Cancer will improve care for men with prostate cancer by helping
the health care team address the unique needs of men being treated for early stage prostate cancer:
Urinary incontinence
Urinary irritation
Bowel incontinence
Sexual health dysfunction
Hormonal
Health-Related Quality of Life
