Abstract

Abstract:

With the widespread application of immunotherapy in cancer patients，immune-related adverse events have become a key focus of clinical attention. Accurately assessing these adverse reactions and their impact on patients’ health-related quality of life is an indispensable part of cancer immunotherapy. This article reviews the research progress of patient-reported outcomes，and summarizes the existing patient reported outcomes scale for cancer immunotherapy from two aspects of universality and specificity，with a focus on summarizing and comparing the content characteristics，limitations，and clinical application of existing tools. Building on this，it proposes future development directions to provide a reference for the optimal development，clinical translation，and nursing practice concerning these cancer immunotherapy-specific assessment tools.

Key words: Cancer, Immunotherapy, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures, Review, Nursing Care

摘要：

随着免疫治疗在癌症患者中的广泛应用，免疫相关不良事件已成为临床关注的重点。准确评估这些不良反应及其对患者健康相关生活质量的影响，是癌症免疫治疗中不可忽视的一部分。该文对患者报告结局进行概述，并从普适性和特异性2个方面汇总现有的癌症免疫治疗患者报告结局量表，重点梳理并比较了现有工具的内容特点、不足及临床应用情况。在此基础上，提出未来发展方向，以便为癌症免疫治疗特异性评估工具的优化开发、临床转化应用及护理实践提供参考依据。
