Introduction of Development and Application of the Cancer-Specific Multi-Attribute Utility Instrument FACT-8D
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Eight Dimension(FACT-8D)provides a new choice for economic evalua-tion research in the field of cancer,especially for measuring the health utility of cancer patients.Some countries have completed or are in the process of developing the health utility value set of FACT-8D,but there is currently a lack of information of FACT-8D in China.A systematic introduction to FACT-8D is provided.Firstly,it briefly introduces the development process of FACT-8D and con-tent of health state classification system.Secondly,taking Australia as an example,the development method,process,and results of the FACT-8D health utility value set are introduced.Thirdly,it summarizes the measurement properties of FACT-8D.Finally,it pro-poses prospect on the application and development of FACT-8D.In conclusion,the valve set of FACT-8D based on the Chinese pop-ulation should be developed with reference to standardized protocols as soon as possible to further validate the measurement properties of the FACT-8D and to explore the bolt on dimensions for patients with different cancer types.
