Article Synopsis
- The study involved 115 cancer outpatients in Brazil to assess how multiple symptoms affect their health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and performance status (PS) using various questionnaires.
- Two distinct patient subgroups were identified through analysis: one experiencing multiple severe symptoms leading to significantly poorer HRQOL and PS, and another with milder symptoms.
- Specific symptoms like pain and fatigue emerged as key indicators of reduced HRQOL and PS, highlighting the complex interactions among cancer-related symptoms and their overall impact on patients’ well-being.
