DEVICE

TreC-Onco

At the baseline visit, each patient assigned to arm A will be provided with the electronic diary (installed on a smart phone or tablet), the oral medication for the first treatment cycle and the appointment for the next cycle. The patient will be instructed on how to use the electronic diary, and the user manual will also be given. This app allows patients to record parameters related to their health state (e.g. medications, blood pressure, weight, fever, side effects or other symptoms) and through the "alarm" function, it reminds the patient to take the tablets, indicating the exact dosage. In addition, the patient can also indicate the dose reduction or the omission.

Paper diary

Patients assigned to arm B will be provided with a paper diary, oral medication for the first treatment cycle and the appointment for the next cycle. The patient will be instructed on how to use the paper diary.
