Brief Summary
This study investigates the well-being and health-related quality of life in cancer patients and survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using questionnaires may help researchers gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., exposure, risk factors, testing, isolation, seropositivity, hospitalization, loss of family or friends, loss of income), may impact multiple domains of health-related quality of life (physical, emotional and social well-being), and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress (e.g., fear, anxiety and depressive symptoms), and disruptions to health care, finances, and social interactions.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (7)
Experiences during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
This will be measure with a COVID-19 questionnaire created to collect COVID-19 experience information, Quality of life (QOL), and other psychosocial variables from participating patients. Using this questionnaire may help researchers gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., exposure, risk factors, testing,isolation,seropositivity, hospitalization, loss of family or friends, loss of income), may impact multiple domains of health-related quality of life (physical, emotional and social well-being), and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress (e.g., fear, anxiety and depressive symptoms), and disruptions to health care, finances, and social interactions.

COVID-19-specific psychological distress
This will be measure with a COVID-19 questionnaire created to collect COVID-19 experience information, Quality of life (QOL), and other psychosocial variables from participating patients. Using this questionnaire may help researchers gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., exposure, risk factors, testing,isolation,seropositivity, hospitalization, loss of family or friends, loss of income), may impact multiple domains of health-related quality of life (physical, emotional and social well-being), and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress (e.g., fear, anxiety and depressive symptoms), and disruptions to health care, finances, and social interactions.
Up to 2 months
COVID-19-specific health
This will be measure with a COVID-19 questionnaire created to collect COVID-19 experience information, Quality of life (QOL), and other psychosocial variables from participating patients. Using this questionnaire may help researchers gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., exposure, risk factors, testing,isolation,seropositivity, hospitalization, loss of family or friends, loss of income), may impact multiple domains of health-related quality of life (physical, emotional and social well-being), and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress (e.g., fear, anxiety and depressive symptoms), and disruptions to health care, finances, and social interactions.
Up to 2 months
COVID-19-specific financial and social disruptions
This will be measure with a COVID-19 questionnaire created to collect COVID-19 experience information, Quality of life (QOL), and other psychosocial variables from participating patients. Using this questionnaire may help researchers gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., exposure, risk factors, testing,isolation,seropositivity, hospitalization, loss of family or friends, loss of income), may impact multiple domains of health-related quality of life (physical, emotional and social well-being), and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress (e.g., fear, anxiety and depressive symptoms), and disruptions to health care, finances, and social interactions.
Up to 2 months
COVID-19-specific perceived benefits and social support
This will be measure with a COVID-19 questionnaire created to collect COVID-19 experience information, Quality of life (QOL), and other psychosocial variables from participating patients. Using this questionnaire may help researchers gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., exposure, risk factors, testing,isolation,seropositivity, hospitalization, loss of family or friends, loss of income), may impact multiple domains of health-related quality of life (physical, emotional and social well-being), and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress (e.g., fear, anxiety and depressive symptoms), and disruptions to health care, finances, and social interactions.
Up to 2 months
COVID-19-specific health related quality of life (HRQoL)
This will be measure with a COVID-19 questionnaire created to collect COVID-19 experience information, Quality of life (QOL), and other psychosocial variables from participating patients. Using this questionnaire may help researchers gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., exposure, risk factors, testing,isolation,seropositivity, hospitalization, loss of family or friends, loss of income), may impact multiple domains of health-related quality of life (physical, emotional and social well-being), and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress (e.g., fear, anxiety and depressive symptoms), and disruptions to health care, finances, and social interactions.
Up to 2 months
Effects of COVID-19 experiences on COVID-19-specific psychological distress and HRQoL
Will evaluate the extent to which resiliency factors such as social support and perceived benefits moderate the effects of COVID-19 experiences on COVID-19-specific psychological distress and HRQoL.
Up to 2 months
