Rezumat	The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale is a comprehensive multisymptom instrument that captures both prevalence and distress of 32 cancer-related symptoms (full version) or 10 core symptoms (short form). Developed by Portenoy and colleagues at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in 1994, the MSAS is designed for detailed symptom profiling in oncology research and clinical practice, enabling identification of symptom clusters and assessment of physical and psychological symptom burden separately.	The Functional Living Index-Cancer is a 22-item patient self-report instrument that measures health-related quality of life in cancer patients across physical, social, emotional, and overall QoL domains. Developed by Schipper and colleagues in the mid-1980s, the FLIC was among the first disease-specific QoL instruments for cancer and served as a foundational model for subsequent comprehensive measures like the EORTC QLQ-C30, bridging early generic QoL concepts with cancer-specific measurement.
