Introduction The addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to interval cytoreductive surgery (CRS) improves recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with FIGO stage III ovarian cancer. We evaluated the effect HIPEC on patient's health-related quality life (HRQoL) OVHIPEC trial. Materials methods was a multicentre, open-label, randomized phase trial for Pat...

Fatigue is a major complaint among advanced cancer patients. Several instruments are available for measuring fatigue. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is one of the most frequently used health-related quality of life (HRQOL) instruments, and it includes a three-item fatigue subscale. Limited knowledge exists about the validity, performance and sensitivity of EORTC QLQ-C30 fatigue scale as compared with a fati...

OBJECTIVE Although recent studies have improved understanding of quality of life (QOL) outcomes of breast conserving surgery, few have used longitudinal data for more than two time points, and few have examined predictors of QOL over two years. Additionally, the longitudinal data analyses in such studies rarely apply the appropriate statistical methodology to control for censoring and inter-cor...

IntroductionOlder patients with early breast cancer (EBC) derive modest survival benefit from chemotherapy but have increased toxicity risk. Data on the impact of for EBC quality life in older are limited, this is a key determinant treatment acceptance. We aimed to investigate its effect enrolled Bridging Age Gap study.Materials and methodsA prospective, multicentre, observational study ?70 yea...
