Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Describe specific musical difficulties that arise during and after cancer treatments: define "musical toxicity".

II. Discover any interventions or treatments which musicians found helpful while going through cancer treatment.

III. Investigate whether the priority of playing music changed through the course of cancer treatment and beyond, in relation to other priorities including cancer cure and length of life.

IV. Discover treatment and cancer related factors which are correlated with worse musical toxicity.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

MUSICAL TOXICITY GROUP: Patients complete a questionnaire, participate in an interview and have their medical records reviewed on study.

NO MUSICAL TOXICITY GROUP: Patients have their medical records reviewed on study.
