Overview
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Radionuclide Therapy (FACT-RNT) is a standardized measure to monitor relevant symptoms and toxicities among prostate cancer
patients in RNT trials and clinical settings. It was developed first by identifying relevant symptoms and toxicities by reviewing published trials and interviewing prostate cancer patients receiving radionuclide therapy (n=529), caregivers (n=514), and clinicians (n=511), then by selecting items for inclusion. The item list was refined with input from experts in RNTs and patient reported outcomes measures.
