Quality-of-life concerns in lung cancer patients.

Abstract:

:Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths for both men and women across the world. In the past, studies on lung cancer have focused on traditional end points such as survival, disease-free survival or local control. More recently, investigators have begun to appreciate the importance of health-related quality-of-life outcomes, particularly in the setting of lung cancer. This article provides an overview of the importance, methodology, analysis and presentation of health-related quality of life in lung cancer trials, and also discusses some of the limitations and challenges of such studies.
