Web app for reporting side effects during radiation therapy
Official title: Programme for Development and Use of a Web-based Application for Monitornig Complications of Radiation Therapy in Cancer Patients and Analysis of Its Effectiveness
Run by Institute of Oncology Ljubljana · NCT07416630 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try a web app that lets people receiving radiation for breast, gynecologic, or urologic cancers report symptoms and quality of life so clinicians can spot problems earlier.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Patients receiving radiotherapy for breast, gynecologic, or urologic cancers at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana who can access and use a smartphone, tablet, or computer and who provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who cannot understand or complete the questionnaires, cannot use an internet-enabled device, or who are treated outside the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana are unlikely to benefit from this program.

What this trial studies
This prospective project develops and implements a secure web-based application for patients to complete standardized electronic patient-reported outcome questionnaires during and after radiotherapy. Participants will complete weekly questionnaires during treatment and at each scheduled follow-up visit for up to two years, with responses sent via HTTPS to the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana. Responses will be triaged by a traffic-light system to guide clinical actions and prioritize follow-up, aiming to support remote monitoring and optimize clinic workload. Healthcare professionals at the Institute will review submissions and use them to inform timely interventions and reduce unnecessary outpatient visits.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the app could help detect radiotherapy side effects earlier, reduce unnecessary clinic visits, and improve patients' quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Electronic PROM monitoring has been used in other cancer settings and has shown improved symptom detection and sometimes reduced acute care use, so this builds on established approaches.
