The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire is a scale used to assess the quality of life in cancer patients. It was developed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and is one of the core components of the EORTC QLQ scale. The QLQ-C30 questionnaire consists of 30 questions that cover various aspects of the cancer patients' lives, such as physical functioning, emotional status, social functioning, pain, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, etc. These questions are divided into five functional dimensions (physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning, role functioning, and cognitive functioning) and three symptom dimensions (pain, nausea and vomiting, fatigue). The QLQ-C30 and its modules provide HRQoL (Health-Related Quality of Life) results in clinical research, and health economic research relies on preference-based measures (PBMs) to obtain HRQoL information. The EORTC Quality of Life Utility Core 10 Dimensions (QLU-C10D) is a PBM that can be scored directly from the items of the QLQ-C30. Therefore, compared to the generic scales EQ-5D and SF-6D commonly used in breast cancer, the cancer-specific QLU-C10D scale can detect dimensions specific to cancer patients, such as nausea and vomiting. Compared to EQ-5D and SF-36, QLU-C10D can more accurately reflect the quality of life of cancer patients during treatment and rehabilitation and provide more comprehensive quality of life information. A scoring system has been developed in 12 countries including Australia, Germany, Italy, and China, and validation of related measurement properties has been conducted in some countries
