This study will investigate the reliability and validity of Chinese version of the quality of life scale in EORTC QLQ-PAN26 and EORTC QLQ-C30 on pancreatic cancer patients in Taiwan
1. Verify the reliability and validity of Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ-C30 Quality of Life Scale and the chinese version of the EORTC QLQ-PAN26 Quality of Life Scale. 2. Verify the construct validity of the Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ-PAN26 Quality of Life Scale, perform factor analysis, test-retest reliability, and known group validity 3. Verify the criterion related validity of Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ-C30 Quality of Life Scale and the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale

RECRUITINGQuality of Life (EORTC QLQ-C30 )
This scale was evaluated by self-assessment of various clinical problems for a week.The EORTC QLQ-C30 consists three subscales with 30 questions.The EORTC QLQ-C30 included three subscales: functioning scales (15questions), symptom scales (13 questions), and global health status (2questions). The reliability and validity of Cronbach'α was 0.52-0.89. About the functional scale and the global health status, the higher the total score, the better the quality of life; the lower the score in the symptom scale, the better the quality of life.
Time frame: baseline
Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ-PAN26 )
This scale was evaluated by self-assessment of various clinical problems for a week.The EORTC QLQ-PAN26 consists of two subscales with 26 questions.The EORTC QLQ-PAN26 included two subscales：functioning scales (4 questions),symptom scales (22 questions). The reliability and validity of Cronbach'α was 0.69-0.97. About the functional scale, the higher the total score, the better the quality of life; the lower the score in the symptom scale, the better the quality of life.

Quality of Life(SF-36)
This scale was evaluated by self-assessment of various clinical problems for a month.The SF-36 included eight subscales.The reliability and validity of Cronbach'α was 0.57.
