Brief Summary
Background: \- Cancer and cancer treatments can cause symptoms and side effects. Pain, fatigue, and emotional distress are three common symptoms. Accurate reporting of these symptoms can improve treatment methods and outcomes. Even though symptom reporting is important to treatment, there is no method to collect and compare patient data from multiple cancer care centers. Researchers want to develop a method for collecting cancer patient symptom information from multiple centers. This method may help improve cancer treatment at hospitals and other care centers. Objectives: \- To collect patient-reported symptom information from multiple cancer care centers. Eligibility:
- Individuals at least 21 years of age who were treated for breast or colon cancer in the past year.
- Participants will come from one of the participating cancer care centers. Design:
- Participants will answer a short questionnaire about their symptoms during cancer treatment. Questions will ask about symptom severity and experiences. Other questions will ask how well the doctors and nurses managed the symptoms.
- Participant responses will be compared with other medical and personal information. This information may include cancer type, age at diagnosis, and type of treatment.
- Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The respondent universe will consist of all cancer patients at the 16 participating NCCCP Cancer Centers who satisfy the following conditions:
- Diagnosed with Stage I-III breast or colon cancer as first primary cancer between February 2011 and January 2013
- Eligible for one of the RQRS breast or colon Quality of Care Indicators
- Age of 21 or older
- Not known to be deceased at the time of contact
- The NCCCP is a network of 30 community hospitals in 22 states supporting cancer research and enhancing cancer care for patients close to home. Most cancer patients in the U.S. are diagnosed and treated at community hospitals; not in NCI Comprehensive Cancer Centers where much research is conducted. The National Cancer Institute Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP) is expanding cancer research and bringing advanced cancer treatments to patients in community hospitals in rural, suburban and inner-city areas.
- This study is being conducted at the 16 pilot NCCCP sites that first entered the program in 2007. All 16 participate in RQRS. These 16 pilot sites are located in 14 states throughout the United States.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients will be excluded for the following reasons:Patient is ineligible for one of the 5 RQRS breast or colon quality indicators
- Patient is deceased at the time of sampling
- Patient has Stage IV cancer
