Quality of Life Group
The EORTC Quality of Life Group develops measures for quality of life and patient-reported outcomes and supports their use in
cancer clinical trials.
Our core cancer questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) has many supplementary modules for different cancer sites and types of treatment.
We have an active research programme including methodology, scientific and clinical projects; and are constantly developing new
modules. We were amongst the first to produce formal guidelines for development of questionnaires. Our questionnaires are
translated into over 70 languages through rigorous translation procedures and quality assurance and we have a strong research
interest in cross cultural QL issues. We are currently developing a CAT version of the EORTC QLQ-C30.
We are a multi-disciplinary group of clinicians and researchers, coming from over 15 European countries plus Canada, Australia,
USA, Japan, Taiwan and Brazil. We organise workshops and plenary sessions twice a year and those interested in collaborating in
our research are welcome to join us.
