    Citation Excerpt :

    When comparing data of EORTC QLQ-C30 with the general population, no differences were found on QoL and general functions. This may be explained by a previously described process, in which patients change their landmarks in evaluating QoL along the course of the disease [40,41]. There are several limitations to consider when interpreting our data.
