The use of these questionnaires has been approved by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (Brussels, Belgium), and they are considered to be high-quality tools by numerous international organizations and associations working for people with cancer [9,13].

“…The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire is made up of 30 questions grouped into nine symptom scales (fatigue, nausea, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties), five functional scales (emotional, physical, role, social, and cognitive), and one global health status scale [9,13,14]. The EORTC QLQ-PR25 questionnaire, which is a supplementary module for prostate cancer patients, consists of 25 questions divided into four symptom scales (urinary, incontinence aid, bowel, and hormonal treatment), and two functional scales concerning sexual activity and functioning.…”

Participants answer questions on a four-point scale ('very', 'much', 'little', 'not at all'), except for two questions regarding global health status, where respondents reply on a seven-point scale [9,13,14]. In both questionnaires, higher results on the functional scale indicate a higher quality of life in that particular domain.…”

Introduction.In recent years, patient-reported outcomes have played an increasingly important role in the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatments as aspects of health-related quality of life (e.g. physical, emotional, and psychosocial), and are taken into account in the selection of treatment methods and complementary management (e.g. nursing care or physiotherapy).Objective. The aim of this pilot study was to assess changes in the health-related quality of life in a prostate cancer population before and 3 months after radical prostatectomy. The main motivation for the study is the small number of studies using validated tools to assess the quality of life of men in the Polish population suffering from prostate cancer. Materials and method. The study concerned 31 newly-diagnosed prostate cancer patients who qualified for radical prostatectomy. Quality of life assessment was performed twice -first before surgery, and then 3 months afterwards -using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-PR25 questionnaires. Results. Comparison of baseline and 3-month follow-up results revealed significant deteriorations in patients' quality of life across various domains, with the clinically and statistically most significant changes being observed on the emotional, social, and role functioning scales. Conclusions. Radical prostatectomy contributed to decreased quality of life 3 months postoperatively. The psychosocial domains of the quality of life are more strongly affected than the physical domains.

“…Various generic and disease-specific PROMs have been developed and can be employed to assess the quality of life of PCa patients. In this context, the PIONEER consortium recently reported which PROMs should be used for the evaluation of patients with localized disease according to the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of Health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) methodology [ 3 ]. Based on of this systematic review, the EORTC QLQ-30 and EORTC-PR25 were recommended to measure the core domains of urinary, bowel, sexual function, hormonal symptoms, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) both in research and routine care settings.…”

Introduction: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) represent important endpoints in metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). However, the clinically valid and accurate measurement of health-related quality of life depends on the psychometric properties of the PROMs considered. Objective: To appraise, compare, and summarize the properties of PROMs in mPCa. Evidence acquisition: We performed a review of PROMs used in RCTs, including patients with mPCa, using Medline in September 2021, according to the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) criteria. This systematic review is part of PIONEER (an IMI2 European network of excellence for big data in PCa). Results: The most frequently used PROMs in RCTs of patients with mPCa were the Functional Assessment for Cancer Therapy—Prostate (FACT-P) (n = 18), the Brief Pain Inventory—Short Form (BPI-SF) (n = 8), and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) (n = 6). A total of 283 abstracts were screened and 12 full-text studies were evaluated. A total of two, one, and two studies reported the psychometric proprieties of FACT-P, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), and BPI-SF, respectively. FACT-P and BPI showed a high content validity, while BPI-SF showed a moderate content validity. FACT-P and BPI showed a high internal consistency (summarized by Cronbach’s α 0.70–0.95). Conclusions: The use of BPI and FACT-P in mPCa patients is supported by their high content validity and internal consistency. Since BPI is focused on pain assessment, we recommend FACT-P, which provides a broader assessment of QoL and wellbeing, for the clinical evaluation of mPCa patients. However, these considerations have been elaborated on in a very limited number of studies. Patient summary: In this paper, we review the psychometric properties of PROMs used with patients with mPCa to find the questionnaires that best assess patients’ QoL, in order to help professionals in their intervention and improve patients’ QoL. We recommend the use of BPI and FACT-P for their high content validity and internal consistency despite the limited number of studies considered.
