ResumenObjetivo: evaluar la calidad de vida, el estado emocional (ansiedad y depresión) y las estrategias de afrontamiento de pacientes con cáncer de pulmón antes de ser intervenidos quirúrgicamente.Método: 121 pacientes ambulatorios con diagnóstico de cáncer de pulmón no microcí-tico (CPNMC) fueron entrevistados antes de la cirugía. Los cuestionarios empleados fueron el EORTC QLQ-C30 y el módulo específico de pulmón LC13, la escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria (HAD) y el cuestionario de Ajuste mental al Cáncer (MAC). Datos demográficos y clínicos también fueron recogidos. Comparamos grupos en relación al sexo y al tipo de intervención quirúrgica.Resultado: La calidad de vida global del paciente con cáncer de pulmón que va a ser intervenido fue aceptable (72,5). La mayoría de pacientes presentaron altos niveles de funcionamiento y bajos niveles de sintomatología ambos medidos por los cuestionarios EORTC (QLQ-C30 y LC13). Sólo los neumonectomizados tuvieron más déficit en calidad de vida presentando peor funcionamiento de rol, más Abstract Purpose: To assess the quality of life, emotional state (anxiety and depression) and coping skills of a sample of lung cancer patients before the surgery.Methodology: 121 ambulatory patients with non small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were interviewed before the surgery. Patients filled the EORTC QILQ-C30 questionnaire, and the EORTC-LC13 lung module, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Mental Adjustment to Cancer (MAC) Scale. Demographic and clinical data were also recorded. We compared the groups according to the gender and to the type of surgery treatment.Result: The quality of life scores of the patients before the surgery were acceptable (72.5). On average patients had high levels of functioning and low levels of symptoms in both EORTC questionnaries (QLQ-C30 and the lung cancer specific module LC13). Only pneumonectomy patients have limitations in some quality of life areas (role functioning, pain in the chest and haemoptysis). Few differences were observed between the genders. Dyspnoea
