Clinical trials of new anticancer therapies form an important part of the research activity of the Cancer Research Campaign (United Kingdom), and quality-of-life (QOL) end points are being increasingly used in the evaluation of new treatment approaches. The Campaign has a unique policy of supporting a broad range of scientific and clinical research, including psychosocial studies, and thus QOL research is generated in a variety of clinical settings. The focus of interest for the Cancer Research Campaign lies in QOL design and assessment rather than the routine application of QOL protocols. Clinical investigators are free to adopt in individual approach, but the Campaign operates a strict peer-review system in protocol assessment. Some standardization of approach is being achieved through consensus of opinion and wide collaboration, both nationally and internationally.
新型抗癌疗法的临床试验是英国癌症研究运动组织研究活动的重要组成部分，生活质量（QOL）终点越来越多地用于评估新的治疗方法。该组织有一项独特政策，支持广泛的科学和临床研究，包括社会心理研究，因此生活质量研究在各种临床环境中开展。英国癌症研究运动组织的关注重点在于生活质量的设计和评估，而非生活质量方案的常规应用。临床研究人员可自由采用个人方法，但该组织在方案评估中实行严格的同行评审系统。通过国内和国际的意见共识及广泛合作，正在实现方法上的一些标准化。
