Sintesi	The EORTC QLQ-C30 is the most widely used international instrument for assessing quality of life in cancer patients. Developed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer in 1993, it measures physical, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning alongside cancer-specific symptoms and financial impact, making it the standard outcome measure in oncology clinical trials and patient care.	The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is a simple, rapid, patient-centered measure of COPD symptom burden and functional impact. Developed by Paul Jones and colleagues in 2009, this 8-item questionnaire captures how COPD affects cough, sputum, chest tightness, breathing difficulty, activity limitation, confidence, sleep, and energy. It is used worldwide in clinical practice to guide disease management decisions and as a primary outcome measure in COPD clinical trials.
