To highlight health related quality of life (HRQOL) measures and published outcomes in phase III clinical trials in the four major cancers: breast, prostate, colorectal, and lung.
Peer-reviewed journals, textbooks, and abstracts published between 1990 and 2009.
Over the past 20 years there has been an upsurge in the number and types of HRQOL measures used in phase III cancer treatment trials. Results of trials reported after 2001 indicate a significant increase in specific treatment or disease-related symptom measures in lieu of or as companions to global HRQOL measures. Currently, open NCI-supported trials are incorporating a large number of targeted treatment- and/or disease-related measures.
Clinicians can use these data to help patients better understand the spectrum and severity of symptomatic toxicities they will experience with cancer treatment.
突出在乳腺癌、前列腺癌、结直肠癌和肺癌这四大癌症的 III 期临床试验中与健康相关的生活质量(HRQOL)测量指标和已发表的结果。
1990 年至 2009 年间发表的同行评议期刊、教科书和摘要。
在过去的 20 年中,在 III 期癌症治疗试验中使用的 HRQOL 测量指标的数量和类型都有所增加。2001 年后报告的试验结果表明,在全球 HRQOL 测量指标的基础上或作为其补充,特定的治疗或疾病相关症状测量指标显著增加。目前,美国国立癌症研究所(NCI)支持的开放试验正在纳入大量针对治疗和/或疾病相关的测量指标。
临床医生可以使用这些数据帮助患者更好地了解他们在癌症治疗过程中将要经历的症状毒性的范围和严重程度。
