Novel evaluation scale for QOL (QOL-ACD-BP) in preoperative chemotherapy for breast cancer.

CONCLUSION: Our study shows that QOL after POC may also affect prognosis and supported the importance of maintaining QOL in cancer treatment. In patients with breast cancer treated with POC, QOL-ACD-BP, which is a new QOL evaluation index, was found to be a useful tool for predicting the patients' prognosis.
