Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Despite the fact that use of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire - Brain Neoplasm (QLQ-BN20) has tremendously contributed to insight into the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of brain tumor patients, certain items of the questionnaire have raised issues, and new treatments have been introduced, with different toxicity profiles not covered by the current measure. These observations have led to the recognition that a revision of the QLQ-BN20 is warranted. The aim of this project is to update the current EORTC QLQ-BN20 questionnaire.
