This is a long-term study that follows brain tumor patients treated at UZ Leuven hospital to understand how their overall quality of life changes after diagnosis and treatment. Researchers will ask you simple questions about your mobility, daily activities, pain, and mood using a validated survey called the EQ-5D. The goal is to build a large database that helps doctors understand what matters most to brain tumor patients during their recovery.
Currently, there is no clear understanding of how brain tumor treatment affects patients' day-to-day lives and well-being over many months and years. This study will help doctors learn what quality-of-life outcomes matter most to patients and may guide better treatment decisions in the future.

You will complete a short quality-of-life questionnaire (EQ-5D) at your regular follow-up appointments, which typically happen every 3 or 6 months depending on your type of tumor. These visits are part of your standard care, so you won't need extra clinic trips. Your medical records and basic health information will also be added to the research database to help researchers understand your journey over time.
