All patients must sign a study-specific informed consent to participate. All patients, including those who do not choose to consent to the study, will be provided with a short survey to assess health literacy using the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS). For those not consenting to the study, the survey will be de-identified and will also ask for basic demographic information including age grouping, race, education level, and type of cancer.
