MSAS
The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale is a comprehensive multisymptom instrument that captures both prevalence and distress of 32 cancer-related symptoms (full version) or 10 core symptoms (short form). Developed by Portenoy and colleagues at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in 1994, the MSAS is designed for detailed symptom profiling in oncology research and clinical practice, enabling identification of symptom clusters and assessment of physical and psychological symptom burden separately.
