Qualitative research to understand the patient experience with advanced and/or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
Aim: The present study aimed to explore the patient experience in advanced and/or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Materials & methods: A multi-phase research design was followed that included a targeted literature review (TLR), interviews with clinicians, and interviews with patients. Patient interviews were analyzed using an iterative, thematic analysis approach. An assessment of the conceptual saturation of all spontaneously patient-reported signs and symptoms was conducted.
Results: Ten patient-centric qualitative studies were identified in the TLR. Five United States (US) clinicians and 15 US patients participated in semi-structured interviews, conducted via video conferencing, lasting approximately 60 minutes each. The five most commonly reported symptoms were fatigue, weight loss, weakness, reduction in appetite, and sleep disturbance. Furthermore, HCC impacted all aspects of patients' lives, including physical functioning, social and family functioning, emotional functioning, physical activities, and activities of daily living. The concepts were mostly similar across the different data sources. A patient-centric conceptual model was developed based on the TLR and patient interviews.
Conclusion: The study provides an in-depth description of signs/symptoms and impacts in advanced and/or metastatic HCC that can support the identification of suitable patient-reported outcome measures. Separate investigation is needed to distinguish between disease impacts and treatment impacts.
期刊介绍:
Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world, and the third most common cause of death from malignant disease. Traditionally more common in developing countries, hepatocellular carcinoma is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Western world, primarily due to an increase in hepatitis C virus infection. Emerging risk factors, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity are also of concern for the future. In addition, metastatic tumors of the liver are more common than primary disease. Some studies report hepatic metastases in as many as 40 to 50% of adult patients with extrahepatic primary tumors. Hepatic Oncology publishes original research studies and reviews addressing preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to all types of cancer of the liver, in both the adult and pediatric populations. The journal also highlights significant advances in basic and translational research, and places them in context for future therapy. Hepatic Oncology provides a forum to report and debate all aspects of cancer of the liver and bile ducts. The journal publishes original research studies, full reviews and commentaries, with all articles subject to independent review by a minimum of three independent experts. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal''s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3.
