摘要: Abstract Background Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) parameters are often used as end points in phase III trials advanced breast cancer. The frequency and correlates significant gains HRQOL have not been assessed. Methods To evaluate the contemporary role for assessment cancer, we searched PubMed main companion papers reporting results on systemic antineoplastic therapies published between 1/98 7/09 11 leading journals. Results search yielded 87 that enrolled a total 33,669 patients. was mentioned/reported paper 34 trials, reported one (a 35/87 = 40%), mentioned abstract 19/34 cases (56%). There no temporal trend two 6-year periods. Although formal statistical comparisons were 31/35 (89%), difference found only 4/31 (13%) always favoring experimental arm. Given small number studies with finding, could assess gain HRQOL. Conclusions is key indicators treatment benefit but this setting do appear to affect differentially.
