Background This prospective population-based study describes health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and disease-specific complaints of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) up to 10 similar to yr post-diagnosis. Methods The Eindhoven Cancer Registry was used to select all patients diagnosed with MM from 1999 to 2010. Patients with MM completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-MY20 questionnaires at baseline (n=156; 74% response rate) and 1yr later (n=80).
