Abstract
Objective: Women with high-risk gynecologic malignancies experience significant psychosocial and physical symptoms that may affect quality of life (QOL). Traditional instruments for assessment, including the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire, have been validated in gynecologic malignancies. However, we hypothesize that significant domains of symptom burden are underestimated by these methodologies. Idiographic assessment of quality of life uses patient-generated domains of symptom burden. The goal of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of a novel assessment instrument for quality of life, “idiographic assessment,” and compare assessed symptom burden to results from traditional assessment tools.
