PedsQL Cancer Module
The PedsQL Cancer Module is a 31-item disease-specific instrument developed by Varni et al. in 2002 to measure quality of life in children and adolescents with cancer aged 2–18 years. It captures treatment burden (nausea, vomiting, pain, hair loss), cancer-related worry, cognitive concerns, and emotional and social impacts of diagnosis and treatment. Used alongside the PedsQL Generic Core Scales, it provides comprehensive assessment of both cancer-specific and general health-related quality of life during active treatment, survivorship, and end-of-life care.
