Figure 5. The mean scores (circle) and standard deviation (bar) of scales and items of the QLQ-C30 just before the adjuvant chemotherapy (N = 57). One global scale (QL) and five functional scales, including physical functioning (PF), role functioning (RF), emotional functioning (EF), cognitive functioning (CF), and social functioning (SF), are shown on the left side; a higher score reflects a better level of functioning. Nine symptom scales, including fatigue (FA), nausea and vomiting (NV), pain (PA), dyspnea (DY), sleep disturbance (SL), appetite loss (AP), constipation (CO), diarrhea (DI), and financial difficulties (FI), are shown on the right side; a higher score represents a worse level of symptom.
