FATIGUE AND QUALITY OF LIFE ASSESSMENT TOOLS The fatigue assessment scale - FACIT-F - has been widely used in studies of cancer related fatigue and a FACIT-F score change both as a covariate and as the main outcome measure in interventional studies. In line with us previous clinical trials used a single VAS-fatigue assessment for inclusion prior to treatment. The visual analogous scale is 100 mm long and ranges from 0 = "not tired" to 10 = "worst possible tiredness". The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QoL questionnaires are among the most widely used tools for assessing physical and psychosocial symptoms in cancer patients. The EORTC-QLQ-C15-PAL was developed for the palliative setting [24]. Permission to include the fatigue and QoL scales has been granted to the trial.
