Breast and cervical cancer are the most common cancers affecting women. The symptom distresses experienced by cancer survivors are critical factors influencing their quality of life (QOL). This study investigated the QOL of breast and cervical cancer survivors, their physical, psychological and social conditions.
The participants were older than 20 years, had been diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer for more than 2 years, and had completed their cancer treatment. The survey incorporated the QOL questionnaires developed by the European Organization of Research and Treatment for Cancer and a self-designed questionnaire.
The mean age at diagnosis was 48.89 ± 8.53 years for the breast cancer survivors and 49.00 ± 10.30 years for the cervical cancer survivors. The corresponding QOL scores were 75.33 ± 20.25 and 75.56 ± 17.93. The factors influencing QOL of breast cancer survivors were household income, number of comorbidities, stage of cancer, type of cancer treatment and duration of illness, whereas the factor related to QOL of cervical cancer survivors was only household income.
The QOL of the two groups was similar. Healthcare providers should demonstrate greater concern toward breast and cervical cancer survivors.
乳腺癌和宫颈癌是影响女性的最常见癌症。癌症幸存者所经历的症状困扰是影响其生活质量（QOL）的关键因素。本研究调查了乳腺癌和宫颈癌幸存者的生活质量、身体、心理和社会状况。
参与者年龄超过20岁，被诊断患有乳腺癌或宫颈癌超过2年，并已完成癌症治疗。该调查采用了欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织开发的生活质量问卷和一份自行设计的问卷。
乳腺癌幸存者的诊断时平均年龄为48.89±8.53岁，宫颈癌幸存者为49.00±10.30岁。相应的生活质量得分分别为75.33±20.25和75.56±17.93。影响乳腺癌幸存者生活质量的因素有家庭收入、合并症数量、癌症分期、癌症治疗类型和患病时间，而与宫颈癌幸存者生活质量相关的因素仅为家庭收入。
两组的生活质量相似。医疗服务提供者应更加关注乳腺癌和宫颈癌幸存者。
