TL;DR: Differences in the responses to the items in the brain cancer module appear to reflect differences in neurological status, as deteriorating neurological status was accompanied by a marked increase in emotional distress, future uncertainty and motor dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of patient and proxy EORTC QLQ-C30 ratings in assessing the quality of life of cancer patients
Kommer C. A. Sneeuw,Neil K. Aaronson,Mirjam A. G. Sprangers,Symone B. Detmar,L.D.V. Wever,Jan H. Schornagel +5 more
TL;DR: The present findings lend support to the viability of employing significant others as proxy respondents of cancer patients' quality of life where this is necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
