There are several types of PROMs used in cancer care, including:
- Symptom Scales: Tools like the [Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS)]() and the [MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI)]() assess the severity of symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and nausea. - Quality of Life Instruments: Questionnaires like the [EORTC QLQ-C30]() and [FACT-G]() measure broader aspects of quality of life, including physical, emotional, and social functioning. - Psychological Assessments: Instruments such as the [Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)]() evaluate the psychological impact of cancer and its treatment.
