| Research Abstract |
Interviews with drafters of clinical practice guidelines for cancer and clinicians involved in palliative care, as well as content analysis of clinical practice guidelines from other countries, revealed the following issues regarding the transition to and implementation of palliative care : obtaining evidence for palliative care, bridging the information gap, the volume of palliative care descriptions and author characteristics, and a clear display of consensus when drafting treatment guidelines. Based on a nationwide survey, awareness of QOL stood at roughly 20%. We verified the Japanese-language edition of the EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL(a QOL assessment questionnaire for palliative care patients), and used it in a multicenter prospective study and demonstrated the minimally important difference(MID) of QOL scores for palliative care in the clinical setting.
