FACT-Prostate: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Prostate
The FACT-Prostate (FACT-P) is a disease-specific quality-of-life instrument for men with prostate cancer, combining the 27-item FACT-G core with a 12-item prostate-specific subscale addressing urinary, sexual, and bowel function concerns. Developed and validated by Esper et al. in 1997, it is a standard outcome measure in prostate cancer clinical trials and clinical practice.
