OBJECTIVE:: METHODS:: RESULTS:: No significant associations were found between treatment centre and symptom screening for emotional distress (p = 0.65), pain (p = 0.21), fatigue (p = 0.95) and other physical symptoms (p = 0.40). The proportion of patients who were regularly screened versus infrequently screened was significantly higher for physical symptoms than emotional symptoms (p < 0.001): 36% infrequently screened for emotional distress (range: 33–45%), 15% infrequently screened for pain (range: 9–21%), 16% infrequently screened for fatigue (range: 15–19%) and 11% infrequently screened for other physical symptoms (range: 5–17%).
