- Abstract
The article discusses the quality-of-life (QOL) line items on the functional assessment of cancer therapy-ovarian (FACT-O) which were associated with low QOL in women who were receiving chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. QOL assessment is the key factor in assessing cancer burden and the effect of treatment. A survey with patients of stage III or IV ovarian cancer was conducted and it was concluded that a large proportion of women reported problems that were amenable to clinical interventions.
