Symptom burden, as measured by patient-reported outcome (PRO) metrics, may have prognostic value in various cancer populations, but remains underreported. The aim of this project was to determine the predictive impact of preoperative patient-reported symptom burden on readiness to return to intended oncologic therapy (RIOT) after oncologic liver resection.
