Health care professionals can promptly follow up, and manage symptoms if necessary.
MAT is free and it is available in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. The printable version of the questionnaire is available on the MASCC website (www.mascc.org) in English as well as in 11 languages.
The MAT Tool is supported by an unrestricted grant form Helsinn Healthcare S.A..
