Abstract

AbstractThere is growing attention paid to patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality of life as end points in clinical trials in oncology. Such results should contribute to the definition of treatment value, inform communication with patients in clinical practice, and impact treatment choice among various options. This review seeks to help clinicians gain familiarity with the correct reading and interpretation of quality-of-life results.
