FACT-Ovarian: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Ovarian
The FACT-Ovarian (FACT-O) is a disease-specific quality-of-life measure for women with ovarian cancer, integrating the 27-item FACT-G core with a 12-item ovarian-specific subscale addressing cancer-related symptoms, sexual function, abdominal distension, and treatment side effects. Validated by Basen-Engquist et al. in 2001, it is a standard endpoint in ovarian cancer clinical trials and supportive care research.
