Resumen	The Caregiver Quality of Life Index–Cancer (CQOLC) is a 35-item self-report measure specifically designed to assess the quality of life and burden experienced by family members caring for cancer patients. Developed by Weitzner and colleagues in 1999, the CQOLC captures the multifaceted impact of caregiving—physical strain, emotional toll, disruption of daily activities, financial hardship, and positive adaptation—making it essential for identifying caregiver distress and tailoring support interventions.	The McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) is a 17-item, multidimensional self-report measure specifically developed for people with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. Created by Cohen, Mount, and colleagues at McGill University in 1995, the MQOL captures physical, functional, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions of quality of life in a concise, patient-centered format. It has become a standard outcome measure in palliative care research, hospice quality improvement, and cancer centers internationally.
