Abstract
Quality of life evaluation tools need to be improved. At present, most tools only partially evaluate patient quality of life, concentrating on the global impact of disease and its treatment on patients' physical and psychological condition. The “sociability” of individual patients is rarely evaluated, and the development of qualitative studies in this domain will enable improved understanding of the social factors involved in each patient's adaptability to disease, its treatment and after-effects.
