Research on symptom clusters in oncology patients is growing at an exponential rate. However, numerous studies are needed to increase the growth of symptom management research.
Findings from this area of symptom management science have the potential to improve the management of multiple co-occurring symptoms in oncology patients. In addition, mechanistic-based studies hold great promise to identify new biological and behavioral targets that will form the basis for subsequent intervention studies.
