Metastatic hormone-producing tumors have characteristics of both tumors and endocrine disorders with many time-series parameters. Therefore, making treatment decisions is often challenging. An important point in determining the therapeutic strategy for patients with these tumors is the cause of the symptoms and complications of tumor mass and hormone excess, which contribute to a decreased QOL. In addition, the speed of tumor progression is highly variable among patients and is considered the treatment choice. Therefore, it is necessary to visualize tumor size, hormone excess, QOL-related information, and treatments as time-series data.

Abstract

Metastatic hormone-producing tumors have characteristics of both tumors and endocrine disorders with many time-series parameters. Therefore, making treatment decisions is often challenging. Data visualization methods have recently been developed to visualize time series, single or multiple pieces of information, and complex patient information. We focused on metastatic pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma and summarized the clinical needs and dashboard data visualization ideas for precision medicine.
