Abstract

Cancer causes a high degree of morbidity and mortality for most of the patients. The cancer patient goes through a trajectory of physical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. Quality of life (QoL) assessment is a direct and patient-centered method in the cancer care delivery which is aimed to identify the outcomes, way beyond the standard scales of loco-regional control, disease-free survival, overall survival, morbidities, and death. Health-related QoL indicates the patients’ perception of their health [1].
