Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to see how skin conditions that are related to different kinds of cancer or cancer treatments affect a patient's overall well-being. Skin conditions are common in cancer patients and survivors. Sometimes, the skin condition is directly related to the cancer. Other times, these conditions are a side effect of cancer treatment. Patients in the study will be asked to fill out at least one questionnaire about how they feel about their skin condition. If the patient needs to be treated for their skin condition, they will be asked to complete the same questionnaire when they return for a follow-up visit. The investigators hope the study will improve our understanding of how cancer patients feel about their skin conditions. They also hope this study helps them learn how to improve the way we treat skin conditions in cancer patients.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment
Patients involved in this study will have a wide range of dermatologic conditions for which they will be assessed and managed by the treating physician. An appropriate QoL instrument will be administered at the initial visit, and if applicable, at subsequent follow-up visit(s). Treatment of the dermatologic condition will be at physician's discretion based on the patient's presenting symptoms and is not an intervention itself within this study.
 Behavioral: Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment
Per physician's discretion, the patient (or, if applicable, patient's family member/ spouse/ caregiver for FDLQI) will complete one or more of the following dermatology-specific QoL instruments: Skindex-16, Skindex-29 DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index), FDLQI (Family DLQI) - for patient's family member/spouse/caregiver ONLY, CDLQI (Children's DLQI;Cartoon version) - for patient's under the age of 18 ONLY-written, CDLQI (Children's DLQI; Cartoon version) - for patients under the age of 18 ONLY - cartoon version, FACT-G (Functional Assessment of Cancer Thearpy-General), FACT-Melanoma (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Melanoma), SCI (Skin Cancer Index) FACT-EGFRI-18 (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor-18), HFS-14 (Hand-Foot Syndrome) OMWQ (Oral Mucositis Weekly Questionnaire), ESTEEM, Hairdex , Skindex-29 modified for hair loss, Itchy QoL,CADS (Chemotherapy-induced alopecia distress scale)
Other Names:
  • MELASQOL (Melasma QoL Questionnaire), MQ (Madarosis Questionnaire), CHIMES (The Children's International Muscositis Evaluation Scale), SDM-Q-9, WoSSAC, VF - 14, VFQ-25
  • Scalpdex, Face-Q Skin Cancer, PRO-CTCAE Cutaneous IP, Traditional Decisional Conflict Scale
  • ONYCHO (Nail-specific QoL questionnaire)
  • FACT Lym (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Lymphoma)


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaire [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    in cancer patients and survivors with dermatologic conditions. This is a nontherapeutic and nondiagnostic protocol to obtain quality of life assessments from cancer patients and survivors who have dermatologic conditions, whether related to cancer therapies, or directly related to the primary cancer diagnosis. Data will be collected by using one or more dermatology-specific QoL instruments based on the underlying skin condition/s.
