Late toxicity printout

Late toxicity printout — Prostate

Acute: ACS names fatigue, pelvic-field skin change, short-term rectal and bladder problems, and nausea. Late: radiation proctitis and cystitis, incontinence, fertility and sexual side effects, low testosterone, osteoporosis, heart problems after ADT, lasting fatigue, jaw osteonecrosis after bisphosphonates, and vision change after hormone therapy. Monitor: lingering rectal or bladder symptoms after 3 to 6 months; echoes after cardiotoxic chemo; lasting fatigue or sleep problems; dental check before bisphosphonates; vision change after hormone therapy; a treatment summary. Those names are not encoded. First-row prostate toxicity stays empty on purpose. Not a PSA-kinetics or testosterone engine.

Questions to ask

ACS long-term page lists questions to ask the care team: possible long-term and late effects, whether fertility or second-cancer risk is higher, which cancer screening tests belong later, which specialists should follow those effects, whether cancer rehabilitation could help, and when to call primary care versus cancer care. Those questions are not encoded. Not a screening, fertility, rehab, or specialist-interval engine.

ACS long-term page says not everyone who has cancer treatment gets long-term or late effects. Who does can depend on the cancer type, the type and dose of treatment, side effects during treatment, age at diagnosis, health before treatment, genetics, eating and exercise during and after treatment, care-team expertise, and support from others. Those reasons are not encoded. Not a late-effect risk-score engine.

ACS follow-up-care page lists questions to ask: how to get a treatment summary and follow-up care plan, who is in charge of follow-up, how often visits and which tests or screens belong later, signs of recurrence or a second cancer, and which survivor support services are available. Follow-up may stay with the cancer care team, move to a survivorship clinic, or return to primary care, depending on the cancer type and stage, the treatment, remaining side effects, insurance, and wishes. Those questions and choices are not encoded. Not a visit-interval, screening, or clinic-routing engine.

Treatment summary and care plan

ACS follow-up-care page names what a cancer treatment summary most often includes: diagnosis date; cancer type, including where it started, stage, and grade if known; treatments and dates, including type, dose, and number of cycles; side effects and how they were managed; test results; and names and contacts for the treating doctors. A survivorship care plan most often names remaining treatment, how often follow-up should happen, which tests including screens for other cancers, possible long-term or late effects, and ways to improve overall health. Those named contents are not encoded. Not a records, visit-interval, or screening engine.

How late effects are managed

ACS follow-up-care page says long-term side effects begin during treatment and continue after, and late side effects can start months or years later. Follow-up care may include a review of symptoms, a physical exam, blood tests to check blood counts and how the liver, kidneys, and other organs are working, and other tests as needed. Special tests after some treatments stay named on this printout. Those named steps are not encoded. Not a lab-panel, visit-interval, or screening engine.
