“…However, a study on QOL among the cervical cancer survivors found that the stage of cancer with adjustment of treatment does not give clinical meaningful differences in EORTC QLQ-30 or CX-24 subscales (Park et al, 2007). This finding concurred other studies which showed no significant association between stage of cancer and QOL (Greimer, 2007;Mirabeau-Beale et al, 2009).…”

“…Whereas other studies done however, showed no significant different between stage of cancer and QOL (Greimer, 2007;Kobayashi et al, 2009;Mirabeau-Beale, 2009). Study among cancer patients receiving treatment in Malaysia also found that stage of cancer does not show any significant difference with quality of life (physical component) (Sharifa Ezat et al, 2014).…”

“…However, the vast majority of survivors reported being a happy person (95.2%, n = 40/42), felt loved (97.6%, n = 41/42), and that their daily life had been full of things that were interesting to them (95.2%, n = 40/42) some of the time or more frequently. The MHI-17 was significantly correlated with many measures of physical symptoms, psychological state, and social support, with higher MHI-17 scores related to a decrease in physical symptoms, a decrease in PTSD, an increase in social support, and an increase in adequate help for unmet needs (Mirabeau-Beale et al, 2009) (Table 2). …”

This study described the long-term adjustment of 42 ovarian cancer survivors diagnosed with advanced-stage disease with no evidence of recurrence, a mean of 6.1 years postdiagnosis. 64% of survivors' mental health was at or above the norm of medical outpatients (Mental Health Inventory-17). No patients reported post-traumatic stress disorder at a diagnosable level (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist-Civilian). The majority of survivors (> or = 75%) reported a positive impact of cancer on their lives (Impact of Cancer Scale) and excellent social support (Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey). However, a subset of survivors reported needing more help than was received regarding emotional problems (28.9%).

“…Skalli et al [20] conducted structured psychiatric interviews with longterm testicular cancer survivors and showed that the presence of an anxiety disorder was significantly associated with FCR. Three studies [21][22][23] with ovarian and breast cancer survivors reported that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were positively associated with FCR (r=.42 to .71), but the sole study that used multivariate analyses reported that having a PTSD syndrome did not predict a moderate to high level of FCR [23]. Roth et al [24] observed that a general anxiety disorder (GAD) syndrome was significantly associated with FCR in prostate cancer survivors.…”
