Abstract

Background To assess the quality of life (QoL) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by the European Organi-zation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ- C30). Methods A prospective study was conducted from August 2020 to August 2021. We evaluated the QoL of 30 patients diagnosed of HCC at Bach Mai and Hanoi Medical University Hospital after a month of treatment. EORTC-QLQ C30 items were converted to scores according to an available formula, the total score for each section ranged from 0 to 100. A low functional score reflected a low QoL, while a lower symptom score indicated a higher QoL. The overall EORTC score (C30 index score) would be calculated according to the available formula. The lower the C30 index score was, the better the QoL would be. and
