Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The previous survey of oncology patients at University of California, San Francisco in 2020-2021 found an alarmingly high symptom burden and high levels of stress and loneliness among respondents. This is a follow-up study with the same sample of oncology patients and survivors who participated in the previous study

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

1. Evaluate for associations among general and disease-specific measures of stress and measures of social isolation and loneliness.
2. Evaluate for associations between general and disease-specific stress and common symptoms associated with cancer and its treatments.
3. Evaluate for associations between social isolation and loneliness and common symptoms associated with cancer and its treatments.
4. Evaluate for associations between social isolation and loneliness and health behaviors and quality of life (QOL) as compared to our last survey. as a baseline.
5. Evaluate for changes in stress, social isolation, loneliness and symptom burden between the two time points.
