FACT-Colorectal: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Colorectal
The FACT-Colorectal (FACT-C) is a disease-specific quality-of-life instrument designed for patients with colorectal cancer. It combines the 27-item FACT-G core (general cancer) with a 9-item colorectal-specific subscale addressing bowel function, sexual function, and cancer-related digestive concerns. Validated by Ward et al. in 1999, it is a standard endpoint in colorectal cancer clinical trials and clinical practice monitoring.
