The Community Oncology and Prevention Trials Research Group sponsored a workshop entitled: Assessing Quality of Life (QOL) in Cancer Symptom Management Trials, held in October 2005. The workshop followed on a year long review of cancer management protocols that were supported by the NCI Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP). Experts in the area of QOL were invited to speak on the current state of knowledge regarding the incorporation of QOL endpoints in symptom management trials and to identify directions for future research. Several Contractor Requirements: 1) Complete the production of a Journal of the National Cancer Institute Monograph? that will contain the proceedings from the workshop; 2) Publish Quality of Life Assessment in Symptom Management Trials as a Journal of the National Cancer Institute Monograph; (Monograph shall be no longer than 135 printed pages inclusive of front matter and illustrations).

This current monograph builds on this previous monograph already published. The JNCI is the only journal that agreed to publish this monograph. This notice is not a request for competitive quotation.
