Quality of Life in Clinical Practice

Quality of life in clinical trials
Quality of life is a person’s view of their own health and well-being. Quality of life can be affected during and after treatment for a serious illness requiring hospital care. It’s important to assess quality of life in clinical trials to see how different treatments affect a patient’s quality of life.

KLIK
KLIK is a website where patients taking part in a clinical trial can answer questions about their quality of life. Parents or carers can answer questions about the patient’s quality of life too. The answers are converted into a KLIK PROfile which gives a clear overview of how the patient is doing during the trial. Not only does this provide important information about the treatments in the trial, but you can view your answers at any time and share them with your clinician. This may help you and your clinician to discuss things that may be bothering you.

SIOPE

Members come from many European countries and together they are leading the way to ensure the best possible care and outcomes for all children and adolescents with cancer in Europe.
