NCT06921863 | NOT YET RECRUITING | Quality of Life (QOL)

This Study Aims to Quantify Decisional Regret as Well as Quality of Life in Patients With Low- to High-risk Cancer and High Burden of Symptoms Undergoing Radiotherapy Using Established Questionnaires.

Brief Summary:

In this prospective registry study, patients with low-, intermediate- and high-risk tumor entities as well as patients with high symptom burden of any tumor entity in palliative constellation with indication for radiation treatment are included. This radiation treatment can be applied either as 3D-conformal RT or IGRT. The duration of treatment can range from one day to several weeks. For the primary endpoint as well as the secondary clinical and other exploratory endpoints, the 3 groups will be compared in terms of DR, QoL, toxicities and treatment plan parameters

Detailed Description:

Decisional regret and quality of life are quantified and analyzed using general linear models (e.g. linear regression models, ANOVA), taking into account covariates such as tumor stage, application of further systemic therapies, extent of the radiation area, occurrence of acute and/or late side effects. Survival time analyses and tumor control rates are evaluated using Kaplan- Meyer and Cox regression. Technical endpoints, quality of life and patient satisfaction will be described descriptively and compared between the cohorts using a mixed linear model.
