Quality of Life of Patients with Ovarian Cancer

چکیده
1.1 Current status of ovarian cancer Ovarian cancer is one of the leading female cancers around the world (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2011). Up to now, there is no effective method of early detection (US Task Force of Preventive Services, 2011). When detected, the stages are usually advanced, and patients have poor prognosis and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Patientreported outcomes have been recommended as endpoints of clinical trials by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (2011). Therefore, besides improving survival, a better HRQoL is a major goal for the development of methods for new detection and treatments.
