    FACT-Hep Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Hepatobiliary For patients with Hepatobiliary cancer (liver, bile duct and pancreas) LICENSE THIS MEASURE Overview Language Availability Licensing Selected References Related Measures Overview Overview The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Hepatobiliary (FACT-Hep) is a 45-item self-report instrument designed to measure health-related quality of life in patients with hepatobiliary cancers. The FACT-Hep consists of the 27-item FACT-G, which assesses generic HRQL concerns, and a validated 18-item Hepatobiliary Subscale (HS), which assesses disease-specific issues. Its development followed a four-phase process of item generation, item reduction, scale construction, and reliability/validity testing. Two independent samples were studied: item generation (sample 1; n = 30) and reliability/validity testing (sample 2; n = 51). All subscales and aggregated scores show high internal consistency at initial assessment (Cronbach’s alpha range, 0.72 to 0.94) and retesting (Cronbach’s alpha range, 0.81 to 0.94). Measurement stability over a 3- to 7-day period is also high for all aggregated scales (test-retest correlation range, 0.84 to 0.91; intraclass correlation coefficient range, 0.82 to 0.90). Convergent and divergent validity were demonstrated by examining relationships between FACT subscales and mood, social support, and social desirability.

    NFOSI-18 National Comprehensive Cancer Network/Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Ovarian Cancer Symptom Index - 18 Item Version For patients with Ovarian cancer; a FACT/NCCN-Ovarian Symptom Index LICENSE THIS MEASURE Overview Language Availability Licensing Selected References Related Measures Overview Overview NCCNFACT Ovarian Index-18 (NFOSI-18) is an ovarian cancer-specific symptom index comprised of symptoms rated as highest priority by both oncology clinical experts and women with advanced ovarian cancer. Fifty-one women with advanced ovarian cancer rated the importance of 30 symptoms associated with advanced ovarian cancer. Ten gynecologic oncologists then rated symptoms according to whether they were predominantly disease- or treatment-related. Patient priorities were then reconciled with previously published clinician priorities for symptom measurement in ovarian cancer. Lower NFOSI-18 scores indicate greater high-priority symptom burden. Preliminary reliability suggests good internal consistency (α=0.80). The NFOSI-18 and its subscales were significantly positively associated with quality of life validity criteria and scores on the NFOSI-18 differed significantly by performance status, with poor performance status associated with lower NFOSI-18 scores.

    FACT-Leu Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Leukemia For patients with Leukemia LICENSE THIS MEASURE Overview Language Availability Licensing Selected References Related Measures Overview Overview The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Leukemia (FACT-Leu) The FACT-Leu is a valid, reliable, and efficient measure of leukemia-specific health-related quality of life for acute and chronic disease. Its development consisted of two phases: scale construction and scale validation. For the item-generation phase, a summary of the literature combined with qualitative results from item-generation interviews with 29 acute or chronic leukemia patients and 16 health care providers yielded an initial item pool reflecting leukemia-specific concerns and symptoms. Items underwent iterations of review and reduction according to defined retention criteria to support content validity, as defined by priority concerns of patients. Seventeen final leukemia-specific items were combined with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–General to create the FACT-Leukemia (FACT- Leu). For the validation phase, 79 individuals with acute or chronic leukemia completed measures at three time points. Leu subscale and aggregated scores showed high internal consistency (ranging from 0.75 to 0.96).Test-retest reliability was adequate for all subscales (intraclass correlation range 0.765–0.890).It demonstrated good convergent validity, with significant correlations with quality-of-life criteria and performance status, in the expected direction. FACT-Leu subscale scores were significantly different among the three performance status change groups, suggesting good responsiveness to change.

Items were extracted from a multidimensional cancer quality of life measurement system, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT). Surveys of disease-related symptoms were presented to expert physicians and nurses at 17 National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) member institutions. In a two-step procedure, each expert narrowed the list to no more than five of the very most important to attend to when assessing the value of drug treatment for advanced disease. Symptoms endorsed at a frequency greater than chance probability were retained. The resulting NFKSI-19 is comprised of items relating to fatigue, pain, nausea, weight loss, worry about worsening condition, and contentment with current QOL, and were consistently selected by experts as priority symptoms.
