Objective: to translate and localize the Demands of Illness Inventory into Brazilian Portuguese, analyzing evidences for its validity and reliability. Method: methodological study carried out in six stages: translation, synthesis, back translation, specialist committee, pre-test, and evaluation of the author of the original instrument. The specialist committee was formed by eight professionals with different specialties. The agreement of these specialists was evaluated using the Content Validity Index and Kappa coefficient. The pre-test was carried out with 31 patients. The reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. Results: all cultural adaptation stages showed adequate results. The Content Validity Index and the Kappa coefficient were above 0.83 and 0.81 respectively. The reliability was 0.95 for the instrument as a whole. Conclusion: this instrument is culturally adapted for cancer patients in the Brazilian context with satisfactory evidence of the psychometric properties evaluated, good acceptability and is acceptably easy to understand.
