European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“We are proud to share the recent publication of an important study by Samantha Sodergren and colleagues in JAMA Network Open, describing the development of a new health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire for adolescents and young adults (14–39 years) (AYAs) living with or beyond cancer.
The new EORTC instrument addresses a critical gap in quality of life evaluation by capturing issues unique to this life stage – including the impact of cancer on education and career trajectories, financial circumstances, romantic relationships, and life goals, alongside physical and emotional well-being.
Following its full validation, this tool has the potential to strengthen clinical assessment, improve research outcomes, and support more personalised supportive care for AYA patients worldwide.
