Accurate assessment of health-related quality of life in patients with upper gastrointestinal cancers is essential to help determine treatment strategies. Questionnaires may be used to screen for physical and psychosocial morbidity, to evaluate new therapies and there is accumulating evidence to suggest that quality of life scores have prognostic value. There are well validated generic measures of quality of life suitable to use in patients with cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract, but only two systems (EORTC QLQ-C30 and the FACT-G) have site-specific modules that have been constructed for this patient group. The future use of computer-assisted techniques to collect, analyze and interpret quality of life data will enable the implementation of quality of life results in clinical practice.
