“…Thus, the score of each domain ranges from 4 to 20. With two additional locally specific items (being respected and eating), the Taiwanese version of the WHOQOL-BREF has been validated to exhibit a good test–retest reliability (correlation coefficient > 0.75), good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s α > 0.91), and good construct validity in patients with several malignancies [ 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

“…The participants were stratified into two categories for analysis: those with NMIBC and those with MIBC or more severe conditions. A kernel-type smoother was utilized to illustrate the dynamic changes of each item and the domain scores via the open access software, iSQOL [ 25 , 26 ]. The timeline of the dynamic changes (duration to date for each measurement/interview) was measured in months since the diagnosis of bladder cancer.…”

We measured and determined the factors associated with long-term generic quality-of-life (QOL) changes in human bladder cancer patients. We utilized the World Health Organization QOL-Brief questionnaire to assess consecutive patients’ QOL at outpatient clinics of our hospital. A mixed-effects model was constructed to investigate the determinants of QOL changes according to each domain and individual item after controlling for demographic and clinical factors, as well as the effect of radical cystectomy. We also applied a kernel smoothing method to describe the long-term dynamic changes after the first definite treatment. In total, 1185 repeated measurements were collected from 343 bladder cancer patients. The mixed-effects models demonstrated that marital status, monthly income, and comorbidity with heart disease and diabetes were significant determinants among all the study participants. Regardless of the urinary diversion type, radical cystectomy contributed to lower scores for all four domains, mainly from 4–5 years after cystectomy, which declined significantly in patients who were older than 60 years. As for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients with preserved bladders, tumor recurrence was a major predictor for lower scores for sexual activity in the social domain. In summary, generic QOL can be independently influenced by many factors, not only cystectomy and tumor recurrence, which should be discussed with patients before treatment.

“…Improvements in early detection and treatment of BC with the absence of metastasis have led to a ve yearsa survival rate 89% globally, and the life expectancy of BC survivors has increased to nearly 23 years [8,66]. Therefore, important health outcomes such as Quality of life (QoL) are a concern at the rst clinical consultation to maintain long time sustainable healthy outcomes among BC survivors [7,8,21,41,65].…”

“…Such studies have generally had examined short-term follow-up in Asian populations as well as globally [25,33,65,67]. The results of this study will help healthcare teams update and determine when and how to improve QoL among women with different types of mastectomies and BR since the choice of surgical treatment heavily in uences these patients' long-term QoL, psychological status, and BI [8,41,51,65]. Therefore, the aim of this study is to describe and compare the dynamic changes in QoL, psychological status, and BI of women who have undergone BC surgery along with identifying the interaction between different time points, various types of BC surgery, and the determinants of QoL within an 8-year followup period.…”

PurposeTo explore the dynamic changes in Quality of Life (QoL), anxiety/depression status, and body image (BI) of women who received different types of breast cancer (BC) surgery within an 8-years follow-up period.MethodsWomen with major BC surgeries were invited to complete the World Health Organization Quality of Life–Brief (WHOQOL-BREF), the European quality of life five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D), and a body image scale within 8 years of surgery. Kernel smoothing methods were applied to describe dynamic changes in QoL, anxiety/depression, and BI at different time points. Linear mixed effects models were constructed to identify the interaction between time, different types of surgery, and the determinants of QoL in these patients.ResultsA total of 1,803 women who had undergone a mastectomy, a modified radical mastectomy (MRM), and breast reconstruction (BR) were included. The BR group exhibited a high QoL score of WHOQOL one to five years after surgery with some fluctuations. The MRM group had comparatively stable, low QoL scores of WHOQOL items and less depressed/anxious. BR group generally showed fluctuated, lower scores of BI two years after operation, but they exhibited more anxiety/depression status after five years. Medical comorbidities, the status of anxiety/depression, and BI were the major factors influencing all domains and items of the WHOQOL BREF.ConclusionWhile MRM may decrease the likelihood of depression in patients with BC and BR would significantly improve their QoL in the first 5 years. We recommend that these findings should be considered and discussed in the patient participatory decision-making for breast surgery.

Modified radical mastectomy performed for CA breast is a life modifying surgery for most women. It creates a profound impact on the quality of life enjoyed by the women. Body image in patients with breast cancer differs from all other cancers. The assessment of quality of life after modified radical mastectomy for early breast cancer patients using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) .Women suffers from day to day activities. Postures become impaired. Postural changes, such as increase in thoracic kyphosis , scoliosis leads to poor postural habits. There is also decrease in shoulder range of motion , scapular muscles weakness . Contractures may develop in axilla after surgery. Breast cancer survivors have muscle weakness of upper limb are Pectoralis major, serratus anterior, upper trapezius, rhomboid muscles, latissimus dorsi .Spine alignment also may effect due to poor posture. Women with Modified Radical mastectomy may have some social phobia . Anxiety, stress level may increase. Women may have fear of recurrence. Because of this factors , there is impaired Quality of Life in Women. Conclusion:Breast cancer is a serious disease that reduces the quality of life, particularly in physical domain and in the emotional area. Oncological disease is becoming a disease for a lifetime. It connected with the constant fear of cancer recurrence and the consequences of treatment.
