They express their opinion that the modeling strategy lacked clear selection criteria and validation. Clearly our analysis, which was conducted in a single center on a relatively small number of patients, did not establish a definitive causal relationship between baseline QOL and survival. However, there is agreement that QOL provides an assessment of patient well-being as well as of cancer survival [3]. …
