| Abstract;As the QOL questionnaires used for the field of clinical oncology in Japan, there are Japanese versions of the Functional Living Index Cancer(FLIC), WHOQOL, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Scale(FACT) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30(QLQ-C30). We also have the QOL Questionnaire for Cancer Patients Treated with Anticancer Drugs(QOL-ACD), which was originally developed in Japan. In this review, their characteristics, and the topics in their validation process are presented. Finally, the issues of cross-cultural validation, metric equivalence of scoring between countries, and data missing in clinical study are also discussed. (author abst.) |
