Quality of Life and Utility in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: Our study quantified the degree to which quality of life is impaired in patients with NSCLC, showed that the presence of metastasis had an important role, and indicated a strong correlation between the measurements produced by the 2 questionnaires. The EuroQOL measurements obtained from these patients will aid evaluation of the cost-utility ratio for NSCLC therapies.

“…In patients with other types of cancer, we found a limited number of studies using the EQ-5D [26,27,28,29,30,31]. In these studies, EQ-5D VAS values, if provided, ranged between 59 in patients with oesophageal cancer [26] and 75 in patients with breast cancer [27].…”

“…In these studies, EQ-5D VAS values, if provided, ranged between 59 in patients with oesophageal cancer [26] and 75 in patients with breast cancer [27]. EQ-5D utility values varied according to cancer type: 0.4 (bone metastases) [29], 0.6 (lung cancer [31], malignant oesophageal dysphagia [28], oesophageal cancer [26]), 0.8 (breast cancer [27]), or 0.9 (prostate cancer [30]).…”

“…Each increment in physical impairment increased depression by 41%. Trippoli, Varani, Lucioni, and Messori (2001) reported that metastatic disease, with its increase in bodily pain and decrease in physical functioning, had the greatest impact on quality of life. Fluctuations in quality of life also have been reported for lung cancer patients receiving treatment when side effects are also an issue (Hollen, Gralla & Rittenberg, 2004;John, 2001).…”

“…Trippoli et al (36) hanno deciso di applicare contemporaneamente due strumenti concettualmente differenti, MOS SF-36 ed EuroQOL, a 95 pazienti affetti da cancro polmonare non a piccole cellule (NSCLC) trattati in 15 ospedali italiani e hanno riscontrato una forte correlazione tra i risultati ottenuti con i due tipi di misura. In media, la somma dei punteggi delle dimensioni "fisiche" dell'SF-36 è ri- (30) hanno dimostrato gli effetti positivi di terapie, nuove e correnti fornendo ai decisori sanitari informazioni che possono essere importanti per la scelta dei trattamenti adeguati.…”
