Zusammenfassung	The EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL is a 15-item quality-of-life instrument specifically designed for advanced cancer patients receiving palliative care. Developed by Groenvold et al. in 2006, it is a shortened version of the QLQ-C30, retaining core QoL domains while reducing respondent burden—critical in palliative settings where fatigue and functional impairment limit questionnaire completion. It measures physical, emotional, and functional well-being alongside key palliative symptoms.	The Cancer Worry Scale (CWS) is a brief 8-item instrument assessing the degree to which cancer-related worry interferes with daily functioning and emotional well-being. Developed by Lerman et al. in 1991, it quantifies cancer-related anxiety and distress—psychological burden distinct from symptom burden and functional impairment. It is widely used in cancer screening, treatment, and survivorship contexts to identify patients requiring psychological support.
