European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Bone Metastases (BM22), developed by the Quality of Life Assessment Group, is a specialized module of the quality of life questionnaire EORTC QLQ-C30, assessing the quality of life in patients with bone tumors. The aim of the study is to develop its Russian version. The study included a sample of 139 patients with bone tumors — inpatients of N.N. Blokhin Cancer Research Center. The scale has a good convergent validity and internal consistency (0,871), factor analysis confirmed the structure of the scale and its compliance with the original model. The results revealed significant decrease in quality of life due to patients’ focus on pain and its severity. We conclude by drawing out the main directions of psychological aid to patients with bone tumors.
