Neoplastic diseases are among the most common causes of death. The quality of life in neoplastic disease depends on the type of neoplasm, level of progression, location, treatment possibilities and prognosis. Cancer reduces the quality of life at the advanced stage of disease. At this time patients feel pain and suffering. Palliative care is used in the terminal phase of neoplastic disease. It includes overall care of an incurable patient and her/his family. The main objective of palliative care is meeting somatic and psycho-social requirements. Recently, more and more physicians dealing with oncological patients are moving away from treatment of the patient like an object. They pay attention to a subjective approach to treatment outcomes that are felt by the patient. The model of medicine is becoming a holistic one and during examination physicians pay attention to the patient's physical and mental state, economic condition, social situation, feelings or lack of complaints more often. Research on quality of life is becoming a vital part of medical examination.
肿瘤性疾病是最常见的死因之一。肿瘤性疾病患者的生活质量取决于肿瘤类型、进展程度、位置、治疗可能性及预后。癌症在疾病晚期会降低生活质量。此时患者会感到疼痛和痛苦。姑息治疗用于肿瘤性疾病的终末期。它包括对无法治愈的患者及其家属的全面护理。姑息治疗的主要目标是满足患者的躯体和心理社会需求。最近，越来越多治疗肿瘤患者的医生不再将患者当作一个物体来治疗。他们关注患者所感受到的治疗结果的主观体验。医学模式正变得更加整体化，在检查过程中，医生更常关注患者的身心状态、经济状况、社会处境、感受或有无不适主诉。生活质量研究正成为医学检查的重要组成部分。
