Nora Tabea Sibert et al.

Summary: Twelve clinicians in certified colorectal cancer centers in Germany were interviewed to investigate their attitudes towards PROs.

The study suggests that there is potential for further education and training for clinicians on how to effectively implement PROs in routine cancer care.
