摘要

Purpose

Individuals with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) may live with their disease for many years. We initiated the Johns Hopkins Hope at Hopkins Clinic to assess the needs and optimize the care of these patients.

Patients and methods

Patients with MBC who agreed to participate in the Clinic in addition to usual care completed patient-reported outcome (PRO) surveys. They met with a navigator and underwent core consults (cancer rehabilitation, integrative medicine, supportive and palliative care, social work, and nutrition), clinical trial eligibility assessment, and optional services based on PRO responses and selection from a Clinic Menu. A medical oncologist provided a Care Plan during a final consult. Participants were asked to complete 3- and 6-month follow-up PRO surveys. We report on initial Clinic implementation, participant characteristics, and baseline PROs.

Results

From 11/2020 to 6/2022, 45 patients completed baseline surveys and participated in the Clinic. Median age was 58 (32–86); the majority (71%) were white and had estrogen receptor-positive (84%) tumors. Baseline physical and mental health were not good for ≥ 14 days of the past month for 22 and 10%, respectively. PROMIS measure scores were > 1 standard deviation worse than average for 32% for Physical Health, 16% for Mental Health, and 23% for Physical Function. PHQ-8 and GAD-7 scores suggested depression and anxiety for 22 and 7%, respectively. More than 80% of participants received specific recommendations from the core consultants. Only 20% of participants completed follow-up surveys.

Conclusion

Patients living with MBC have multiple needs. We used our results to implement routine PRO assessments and to expand services for patients with MBC. Our experience can serve as a model for coordinated care in other systems.
