Patient-reported Quality of Life (QOL) - Part 1
Will use the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29 (PROMIS-29)
Patient-reported QOL - Part 2
PROMIS Cognitive Function instruments
Patient-reported QOL - Part 3
Selected questions from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 to evaluate the impact of immunotherapy on QOL.
