Patients with advanced cancer are often accompanied by a variety of symptoms due to disease or treatment,and it is necessary to choose a scientific assessment tool to assess and manage these symptoms.

In the course of using,the structure and contents of the original scale are adjusted,and the ESAS is more perfect,besides,its reliability and validity are validated,and it is used in the research of evaluation by others.
