We described the baseline questionnaire responses of our patients before initiating systemic treatment and analysed their responses.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Over 60% of the patients reported some degree of lack of energy or fatigue, 60.8% were very or extremely worried about their disease worsening, and 47.9% had some issues related to rest. Additionally, 26.8% of the patients were not at all satisfied with their quality of life at that time.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Patients diagnosed with mRC exhibit deterioration in their quality of life, mostly showing asthenia and concern about their disease. The quality of life of \"real-life patients\" seems to be worse than that of those included in clinical trials.</p>","PeriodicalId":23414,"journal":{"name":"Urologia Internationalis","volume":" ","pages":"18-25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142141226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
