Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) - FACT - BR (FACT - BRAIN)Secondary· At 6 months (1.5-month window)
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Brain (FACT-Br) (23 questions that assess brain-tumor related issues) including the FACT-General (FACT-G), a core questionnaire used to determine the more general domains of QOL among all cancer patients was administered. This assessment is a 50 item, self-administered questionnaire used to assess Quality of Life, including, Physical Well-Being, Social/Family Well-Being, Emotional Well-Being, and Functional Well-Being. Subscale scores range from 0-4. FACT-G = (PWB - 7 items, score range 0-28) + (SWB - 7 items, score range 0-28) + (EWB - 6 items, sc
