The PhenX Toolkit: Standard measurement resources for cancer outcomes and survivorship research. Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 115(4), 473-476. https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djad010
This brief report introduces the Cancer Outcomes and Survivorship domain in the PhenX Toolkit (consensus measures for Phenotypes and eXposures), which includes 15 validated measurement protocols for cancer survivorship research that were recommended for inclusion in this publicly available resource. Developed with input from the scientific community, the domain provides researchers with well-established measurement protocols for evaluating physical and psychological effects, financial toxicity, and patient experiences with cancer care. The PhenX Toolkit, funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute since 2007, is an online resource that provides high-quality, standard measurement protocols for a wide range of research areas (eg, Smoking Cessation, Harm Reduction and Biomarkers, and Social Determinants of Health). Use of the PhenX Cancer Survivorship Outcomes and Survivorship domain can simplify the selection of measurement protocols, data sharing, and comparisons across studies investigating the cancer survivorship experience.
