FACT-Anemia: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Anemia
The FACT-Anemia (FACT-An) is a quality-of-life measure combining the 27-item FACT-G core with a disease-specific subscale focusing on fatigue and anemia-related symptoms common in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or dealing with cancer-induced anemia. Developed by Yellen et al. in 1997, it quantifies the impact of chemotherapy-induced anemia on functional and emotional well-being, supporting clinical trials and anemia treatment research.
