EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL
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.
