PRO (patient reported outcomes) is a patient's subjective assessment of health and quality of life, without interpretation by a specialist. PROM (patient reported outcomes measure) questionnaires are used to analyzing this data. Assessment of the quality of life is a perspective direction, which allows to improve the quality of medical care and treatment results. Today, there are many questionnaires PROM, their reliability and validity has been proven in numerous studies. Unified standards and methods for developing and evaluating questionnaires have been developed. Interest in the use of quality of life questionnaires is increasing constantly. However, studies analyzing the data of the PROM questionnaires are rarely found in the national literature. Quality of life is also poorly researched in clinical practice. The aim of the literature review is to present modern methods for assessing the quality of life of patients, especially with cancer. A review of the most widespread and reliable questionnaires and assessment instruments for the quality of life of a patient has been carried out. The analysis of world experience of their use in clinical practice, for patients with cancer has been performed. Examples of both general and specific questionnaires are given. PROM questionnaires are widely used among patients with cancer. However, incorrect use of PROMs is found in the literature, and in patients with certain nosologies PROM data studied poorly. Further analysis of the potential of PROM questionnaires implementation is required, as well as their translation and adaptation for use in Russian health care.
