Breast cancer
e-IMPAQc aims to implement an electronic patient-reported outcome symptom screening and management program for better tailored treatment and care for women with breast cancer and women with metastatic breast cancer.
e-IMPAQc for patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (MBC)
There are many experiences affecting women with MBC that impact their ability to manage their care or capacity to plan for the future. The systematic screening of patients’ symptoms and the challenges they face, also referred to as patient-reported outcomes or PROs, is a cornerstone of high-quality cancer care and can serve as a tool to improve patients’ lives. The goal of this program is to implement an electronic patient-reported outcome symptom screening and management program for better tailored treatment and care of women with metastatic breast cancer.

e-IMPAQc, a symptom detection program delivered using a mobile application
Under the leadership of Dr. Sylvie Lambert and Rosanna Faria, e-IMPAQc offers people with breast cancer questionnaires on their cell phones, prior to their medical visit, to identify the severity of their symptoms. A report is then transferred to the treating clinician to adapt the care provided according to the patient’s responses. Patients also receive a report to facilitate symptom management, which is supported by educational materials tailored to their needs.
