dc.description.abstractObjective: To identify which domains/symptoms from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) were predictive of overall quality of life (QoL) in advanced cancer patients. Methods: Four hundred and forty seven patients with brain metastases or bone metastases from seven countries were enrolled with regression analysis to determine the predictive value of the QLQ-C30 functional/symptom scores for patient reported overall QoL (question 30), overall health (question 29) and the global health status domain (questions 29 and 30). Results: Worse role functioning, social functioning, fatigue and financial problems were the most significant predictive factors for worse QoL. in the bone metastases subgroup (n = 400), role functioning, fatigue and financial problems were the most significant predictors. in patients with brain metastases (n = 47), none of the EORTC domains significantly predicted worse QOL. Conclusion: Deterioration of certain QLQ-C30 functional/symptom scores significantly contributes to worse QoL, overall health and global health status.en
