The utility of quality of life (QoL) scores in predicting cancer survival remains inconclusive
because of methodological and/or statistical heterogeneity. We examined whether QoL …

BACKGROUND Evidence continues to accumulate regarding the association between
health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and survival across chronic diseases. The objectives …

Objectives: Little is known about how quality of life (QOL) can assist clinical decision-making
for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to investigate the …

Abstract Background & Aims Prognostication in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is
demanding. Not only tumour extent and performance status are to be considered, but also …

Objective: To develop a self-administered quality of life instrument for patients with liver
cancer. Methods: The programmed decision procedure, the theory and methodology in …

Background Although individual studies show that baseline health-related quality of life
(HRQOL) is a prognostic factor for survival, contradictory results have been published and …

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one the most common malignancies in the
world. As the prognosis for HCC patients is poor, the quality of life (QOL) is becoming more …

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to externally validate an established association
between baseline health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) scores and survival and to assess …

Background Patients with lung cancer experience considerable symptom burden, which can
decrease patients' QOL. Our aim was to investigate the association between QOL …

Abstract Objectives Quality of Life (QoL) at baseline is frequently found to be a prognostic
factor in cancer studies. However, little is known about the relationship of the trajectory of …
