Person-centered clinical research can positively influence the outcomes of clinical research by providing a more accurate representation of real-world patient experiences. It addresses questions that are informed by patient experiences, needs, and perspectives, and involves patients in all stages of research, including design, activation, enrollment, data collection, completion, and outcome reporting. Although patient-reported outcome measures may offer potential benefits for clinical cancer research, challenges in the completeness, reliability, and validity of the data persist. This workshop will examine opportunities to overcome these challenges to advance the conduct of innovative, person-centered clinical cancer research to improve outcomes for all patients.
