EORTC QLQ-BR23: Quality of Life in Breast Cancer
The EORTC QLQ-BR23 is a 23-item breast-cancer-specific module designed to complement the 30-item EORTC QLQ-C30 core questionnaire, assessing functional and symptom domains unique to breast cancer. Validated by Sprangers et al. in 1996, it measures body image, sexual function, breast symptoms, and arm symptoms, making it a standard instrument in European and international breast cancer clinical trials and quality-of-life research.
