EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET-21 questionnaire is a module specific for neuroendocrine tumours and comprises 21 questions assessing disease symptoms, side effects of treatment, body image, disease related worries, social functioning, communication and sexuality. Each subscale is based on the following items: endocrine scale (items 31-33); gastrointestinal scale (34-38); treatment scale (39, 40, and 46); social function scale (42, 44, and 49); disease related worries scale (41, 43, and 47); muscle/bone pain (48), sexual function (51), information/communication function (50), and body image (45).
All parameters are evaluated using single or multi-item questions which are consequently converted into a 100-point score
