An increasing number of patients with lung cancer are undergoing outpatient chemotherapy as an alternative to inpatient therapy. To investigate the factors influencing the quality of life (QOL) for these patients, we administered a QOL questionnaire, The QOL Questionnaire for Cancer Patients Treated with Anticancer Drugs (QOL-ACD) to 8 older adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The medical factors related to the overall QOL scores and other categories indicating activity, physical condition, psychological condition, social relationship, psychological condition and face scale were analyzed. No significant decrease in each factor was observed in this study.
