FACT (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy)

The FACT (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy) is a questionnaire used by healthcare providers to assess the quality of life of cancer patients. It measures how the disease and its treatment affect physical comfort, emotional well-being, functional abilities, and overall satisfaction. Patients answer questions about their symptoms, daily activities, and feelings, helping doctors understand the impact of cancer and its treatments from the patient's perspective. This information guides personalized care and helps evaluate treatment effectiveness, aiming to improve both health outcomes and quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
