Brief description People with advanced cancer often experience several concurrent debilitating symptoms, yet most symptom research focuses on the study of individual symptoms. This study aims to gain a better understanding of the patterns and effects of specific groups of symptoms across the trajectory of a patient's illness following diagnosis of advanced cancer. Such knowledge is critical to the development of more focused symptom assessment processes and more appropriately targeted interventions.
