- The study looked at how well the Greek version of a health survey (WHOQOL-BREF) works for patients with advanced cancer and pain, checking its reliability and how it connects to their quality of life (QoL).
- 145 patients took part in the study, filling out various questionnaires to measure their quality of life, psychological distress, and pain levels.
