FACT-Lung: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Lung
The FACT-Lung (FACT-L) is a lung-cancer-specific quality-of-life measure that combines a 27-item general cancer assessment with a 7-item lung cancer subscale. Developed by Cella et al. in 1995, it quantifies physical, emotional, social, and functional well-being specifically relevant to lung cancer patients. It is widely used in clinical trials and practice to assess treatment impact and symptom burden.
