II. Quality of Life
This section provides new insights into patients’ quality of life and differences and similarities that might exist between patient groups. Registry participants completed the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy — General (FACT-G) questionnaire at different points in their OM journey. The FACT-G is a 27-item questionnaire designed to measure four domains of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in cancer patients: physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being. Please note the disclaimers included within the report are to provide a more complete understanding of the analysis.

Please note that the outcomes presented here are representative of those patients who have shared their experiences with ocular melanoma. Due to a much higher participation rate in the United States these numbers may be skewed and thus making direct comparisons between countries is inappropriate at this time. Moving forward, however, we hope to have a higher participation rate among OM patients residing in countries outside the US. This will allow us to better understand true differences between patients in different countries.
Quality of life (QOL) SCORE RANGE: 0–108 The higher the score, the better the patient’s reported quality of life.
