Article Synopsis
- The EORTC QLQ-BR23, initially developed in 1996 to evaluate quality of life in breast cancer patients, needed an update due to significant treatment advancements.
- A systematic review identified 83 quality of life issues, leading to the creation of 27 items after consultations with patients and health providers, and these were tested in an international study with 250 participants from 12 countries.
- The updated version, now called the EORTC QLQ-BR45, features 45 items including new scales for target symptoms and treatment satisfaction, enhancing the assessment of breast cancer treatment impacts on patient quality of life.
