Functional assessment of cancer therapy questionnaire for melanoma in the Serbian population: A factor analytic approach.

The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Melanoma (FACT-M) questionnaire in the Serbian language. The FACT-M was translated into Serbian using the standard methodology after obtaining the licence from the Functional Assessment of Ch...
