    FACT-RNT Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Radionuclide Therapy For patients receiving radionuclide therapy LICENSE THIS MEASURE Overview Language Availability Licensing Selected References Related Measures Overview 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. MEASURE NAME: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Radionuclide Therapy (FACT-RNT) VERSION: 1 NUMBER OF ITEMS: 15 PATIENT POPULATION: Patients receiving radionuclide therapy (RNT) for prostate cancer aged 18 years and older RECALL PERIOD: Past 7 days RESPONSE SCALE: 5 point Likert-type scale DATA COLLECTION: Paper and electronic ADMINISTRATION: Self-administration and interview when applicable SUBSCALE DOMAINS: RNT TIME FOR COMPLETION: 5-10 minutes SCORING: Manual scoring template, total score possible.

  • 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.
