Përmbledhja	The FACT-B is a comprehensive 36-item disease-specific quality-of-life instrument that integrates the generic FACT-G (27 items covering physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being) with a 9-item breast-cancer-specific subscale addressing body image, sexual function, arm symptoms, and treatment side effects. Developed by Brady et al. in 1997, the FACT-B is the gold-standard QoL measure for breast cancer research and clinical practice, used in hundreds of clinical trials and enabling comparison across breast cancer populations and treatment modalities.	The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System is a rapid, validated 9-item tool that assesses the severity of common symptoms in cancer and palliative care patients: pain, tiredness, nausea, depression, anxiety, drowsiness, appetite loss, general well-being, and shortness of breath. Developed by Bruera and colleagues at the University of Alberta in 1991, the ESAS has become the standard symptom-screening instrument in oncology clinics, palliative care units, and end-of-life care settings worldwide, enabling efficient symptom prioritization and management escalation.
