Common Symptoms in Patients with Advanced Cancer
Abstract
The goal of this study was to identify the symptoms of patients with advanced cancer. One hundred consecutive patients referred to the Palliative Care Service at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation were studied using a standard tool that included questions on 38 specific symptoms. The most common symptoms were pain, weight loss, and anorexia. Significant findings also included that women had more frequent and severe gastrointestinal complaints than men. These do not appear to be related to specific cancer primary sites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
