The Functional Living Index-Cancer (FLIC) was administered to 438 patients in the Lung Cancer Study Group on whom long-term follow-up was available in 1993. Across all trials, the total FLIC score was predictive for survival even when corrected for extent of disease, although individual items on the FLIC were not. There was no significant impact of a short course of chemotherapy on quality of life. The FLIC is a reliable means of assessing quality of life in lung cancer surgical adjuvant trials.
