Health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) has been studied extensively in human medicine. There is currently no standard HRQoL evaluation for veterinary oncology patients. The aim of this study was to assess the practicality, usefulness and robustness, from a pet owner and clinician perspective, of a questionnaire for the assessment of HRQoL in canine and feline cancer patients. A HRQoL assessment entitled 'Cancer Treatment Form' and two questionnaires entitled 'Owner Minitest' and 'Clinician Minitest' were designed. The first and second were completed by owners of patients presenting to a veterinary oncology referral service and the third by attending clinicians. The 'Cancer Treatment Form' was well received by owners and clinicians and provided a valuable assessment of HRQoL with 98% (82/84) of owners reporting an accurate reflection of their pet's quality-of-life. Following this, minor improvements to the form could be suggested prior to regular use in evaluation of clinical oncology patients.
健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）在人类医学中得到了广泛研究。目前，兽医肿瘤学患者尚无标准的 HRQoL 评估方法。本研究旨在从宠物主人和临床医生的角度评估一种用于评估犬和猫癌症患者 HRQoL 的问卷的实用性、有用性和稳健性。设计了一份名为“癌症治疗表”的 HRQoL 评估问卷和两份名为“主人迷你测试”和“临床医生迷你测试”的问卷。前两份问卷由就诊于兽医肿瘤学转诊服务的患者的主人填写，第三份问卷由主治临床医生填写。“癌症治疗表”受到了主人和临床医生的欢迎，提供了对 HRQoL 的有价值评估，98%（82/84）的主人报告说准确反映了他们宠物的生活质量。在此之后，在将该表格用于评估临床肿瘤患者之前，可以提出一些小的改进建议。
