BACKGROUND/AIM: To evaluate quality of life (QoL) in women treated for ovarian tumors one year after laparotomy.
The validated quality of life questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OV28) were sent to women who had undergone laparotomy due to ovarian tumors 12 months after surgery. The answers were analyzed and grouped according to the ovarian tumor histology (benign, borderline and cancer).
A total of 621 patients (87.5% out of 710) agreed to participate in the study. Ovarian cancer patients experienced statistically worse QoL one year after laparotomy in several analyzed parameters, including financial difficulties, compared to patients treated for benign and borderline tumors.
Women with ovarian cancer still need further cancer rehabilitation and support one year after diagnosis to improve their QoL. The novel finding was that ovarian cancer patients suffered from financial difficulties even in a free of charge health care system.
背景/目的：评估接受卵巢肿瘤剖腹手术后一年女性的生活质量（QoL）。
将经过验证的生活质量问卷（EORTC QLQ-C30 和 QLQ-OV28）发送给接受卵巢肿瘤剖腹手术后 12 个月的女性。根据卵巢肿瘤组织学（良性、交界性和癌症）对答案进行分析和分组。
共有 621 名患者（710 名中的 87.5%）同意参与研究。与接受良性和交界性肿瘤治疗的患者相比，卵巢癌患者在手术后一年的几个分析参数中经历了统计学上更差的 QoL，包括经济困难。
卵巢癌女性在诊断后一年仍需要进一步的癌症康复和支持，以提高她们的 QoL。新的发现是，即使在免费的医疗保健系统中，卵巢癌患者也会遇到经济困难。
