Description of changes in patient reported outcomes through standardized questionnaires.European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cancer Patients receiving palliative care (EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL), covers items such as pain, physical and emotional functioning. The QLQ-BN20 contains questions on 7 single-item symptom scales (headaches, seizures, drowsiness, hair loss, itchy skin, leg weakness, and bladder control), and 4 multi-item scales (future uncertainty, visual disorder, motor dysfunction, and communication deficit). Patient's scores are translated into a scale from 1-100. A change of 10 points in one item is considered clinically significant.
