    FACT-Lym Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Lymphoma For patients with Lymphoma (NHL) LICENSE THIS MEASURE Overview Language Availability Licensing Selected References Related Measures Overview Overview The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Lymphoma (FACT-Lym) was developed to address health-related quality-of-life issues for NHL patients. Items for the FACT lymphoma subscale were generated from healthcare provider interviews, published literature, and content validity patient interviews. The scale was validated on a sample of 84 NHL patients, with additional measures at baseline (T1), 3–7 days (T2), and 8–12 weeks (T3). Item correlations, expert relevance ratings, and patient input on content shortened the initial 22-item lymphoma subscale to 15 items. The validation sample included 56% female, 76.2% white, 60% indolent disease, and 85% receiving treatment. Internal consistency coefficients for the subscale (.79, .85, and .84 T1–T3) and test-retest stability (.84) indicated good reliability. Correlations between the lymphoma scale and SF-36 physical (𝑟 = .62) and mental (𝑟 = .48) summary scores reflect concurrent validity. Responsiveness to ECOG performance status and treatment status exceeded established FACT subscale scores. The subscale differentiated patients’ retrospective ratings of change in each of the three groups (better; unchanged; worse), 𝑃 < 0.001.

  • FACT-O

    FACT-O Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Ovarian For patients with Ovarian cancer LICENSE THIS MEASURE Overview Language Availability Licensing Selected References Related Measures Overview Overview The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Ovarian (FACT-O) provides a reliable and valid assessment of the quality of life of women with ovarian cancer, and is appropriate as a brief quality of life assessment in clinical trials and descriptive studies. It was initially validated with 232 ovarian cancer patients attending an outpatient gynecologic oncology clinic, who completed the measure at baseline. The patients’ FACT-O scores were then compared with their performance status, disease stage, treatment status, and other factors hypothesized to be related to quality of life. Patients received a second measure either one week after baseline to assess the instrument’s test-retest reliability and/or two months after baseline to evaluate its sensitivity to change in performance status. Overall, the subscales correlated with other measures as expected; all correlations were in the hypothesized direction. Patients with advanced disease, poor performance status, and who were receiving active treatment had lower scores on physical, functional, and ovarian cancer-specific scales. The total FACT-O and emotional well-being scores were lower for patients with poor performance status and patients in active treatment. The FACT-O total and all subscale scores except emotional well-being were sensitive to decreases in performance status.

  • FACT-An

    FACT-An Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Anemia For patients with Anemia/Fatigue LICENSE THIS MEASURE Overview Language Availability Licensing Selected References Related Measures Overview Overview The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Anemia (FACT-An) contains 20 items related to symptoms and concerns of patients with anemia along with the 27-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G). Thirteen of the 20 items deal with fatigue, while the remaining 7 cover other concerns related to anemia. Using semi-structured interviews with 14 anemic oncology patients and 5 oncology experts, two instruments were produced: The FACIT-Fatigue and the FACT-Anemia. These measures were then tested with a second sample of 50 cancer patients with hemoglobin levels ranging from 7 to 15.9 g/dL. The 47-item FAC7-An scores were found to be stable (test-retest r = 0.87) and internally consistent (coefficient alpha range= 0. 95-0. 96). The symptom-specific subscales also showed good stability (test-retest r range = 0.84-0.90), and the Fatigue subscale showed strong internal consistency (coefficient alpha range = 0. 93-0. 95). Internal consistency of the miscellaneous non-fatigue items was lower but acceptable (alpha range = 0.5 9-0. 70), particularly in light of their strong relationship to patient-rated performance status and hemoglobin level. Convergent and discriminant validity testing revealed a significant positive relationship with other known measures of fatigue, a significant negative relationship with vigor, and a predicted lack of relationship with social desirability. The FACT-An is useful measure of quality of life in cancer treatment, adding more focus to the problems of fatigue and anemia.

    FACT-C Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Colorectal For patients with Colorectal cancer LICENSE THIS MEASURE Overview Language Availability Licensing Selected References Related Measures Overview Overview The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Colorectal (FACT-C) is a measure which assesses the quality-of-life of colorectal cancer patients. This self-report instrument combines specific concerns related to colorectal cancer with those that are common to all cancer patients. It has been shown to have good internal consistency, reliability and concurrent validity, as well as an ability to distinguish between groups based on functional status and extent of disease. The FACT-C has also been found to be sensitive to changes in functional status and the colorectal cancer-specific items have been found to have adequate convergent and divergent validity.
