Skolarus TA, et al. - Among long-term survivors of prostate cancer (n=556), researchers assessed if more confident symptom self-management and reduced symptom burden could be seen in relation to a personally tailored, automated telephone symptom management intervention to improve self-management vs usual care enhanced with a nontailored newsletter about symptom management. In a random manner, they allocated the participants to intervention (n=278) or usual care (n=278) groups. From baseline to 5 and 12 months, domain-specific changes in symptom burden were compared in the intervention group according to the primary symptom focus area (urinary, bowel, sexual, general) of participants. According to the findings, veterans who were long-term survivors of prostate cancer well received this intervention. Although groups did not exhibit differences in the overall outcome, the associated burden may potentially be attenuated by the implementation of intervention tailored to symptom area of choice.
