Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
EORTC QLQ-C30
Time Frame: Day 60
The QLQ-C30 is a generic questionnaire with 30 questions coded in 4 response modalities (not at all (1), a little (2), enough (3), a lot (4)) or in 7 response modalities (from very bad (1) to excellent ( 7)). Questions are summarized in five multiitem domains (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning) and nine single item domains (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, appetite loss, financial impact; diarrhea, constipation, sleep disturbance and quality of life). Each domain is scored between 0 and 100. For functional domains, a high score value represents a high level of quality of life. For symptom domains, a high score represents an important level of symptoms (a low level of quality of life).
