Results of an European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) study point out the prognostic value of baseline recorded health-related quality of life for survival in eleven types of cancer: brain, breast, colorectal, oesophageal, head and neck, lung, melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and testicular cancer. For each cancer type, at least one health-related, quality-of-life parameter provided additional prognostic information over and above the clinical and socio-demographic variables. Read more here.
