title: [Assessment of the quality of life with regard to health following a cancer diagnosis].
abstract: The measurement of the quality of life in terms of health of people undergoing treatment for cancer is developing. This new indicator focusing on patients' personal experience is combined with standard criteria relating to their tumours. The data are also a factor in the prognosis of overall survival. A team of researchers at Besançon university hospital shares its experience.
