About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomised Controlled Study to Investigate the Effectiveness of Using a Quality of Life Questionnaire to Target Interventions to Improve Quality of Life in Patients With Lung Cancer

This study will investigate the effectiveness of using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 + LC 13) to identify and target therapies in patients with lung cancer. The study will assess whether using the questionnaire will result in an improvement in QoL.

Read the detailed description

Patients with lung cancer who have completed a course of treatment (or who are in-between treatment) at the Royal Marsden Hospital would be eligible for inclusion in the study. Participants will be randomised into 3 groups. Group 1 - this group will complete the QoL questionnaire and will receive targeted therapies by a doctor (and other members of the oncology team) during a clinic consultation. Group 2 - will complete the QoL questionnaire however the questionnaire will not be seen by the doctor during a clinic consultation. Group 3 - the control group will not complete the QoL questionnaire before a clinic consultation. All patients will complete a diary of all contact they have with health care professionals during the study. The study will last for 6 weeks and at the end of the study all patients will complete the QoL questionnaire.
