“…Thoracic radiotherapy is an effective treatment modality in relieving such symptoms. [3][4][5] According to the world health organization health has been defined as absence of disease along with physical, social and mental wellbeing. This led to alternative approaches to measure health like the analysis of the patient's quality of life (QOL) particularly who has been diagnosed with cancer.…”

Background: Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in males worldwide and its number is increasing every year. Of these cases 75-80% case are of non-small cell type. Methods: This study was conducted on 30 patients of stage IV non-small cell lung cancer in the department of radiation oncology at tertiary care center, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh India from 1st Jun 2019 to 30th Jun 2020 by dividing them into study and control arm for assessing quality of life (QOL) with EORTC QLQ-C30 version3.0. Results: We observed significant improvement in Global health scale of control arm (p=0.005) but it got worse in study arm (p=0.743). All the parameters of Functional scale i.e. Physical (p=0.584; 0.170), Role (p=0.213; 0.016), Emotional (p=0.239; 0.002), Cognitive (p=0.793; 0.247) and Social functioning (p=0.030; 0.231) got worse in study arm while they improved in control arm. As far as Symptom scale is concerned, in the study arm; dyspnea (p=0.724), appetite (p=0.836), constipation (0.192), diarrhea (p=0.341) improved but other symptoms like fatigue (p=0.566), nausea (p=0.347), pain (p=0.305), insomnia (p=0.025), financial difficulties (p=0.082) got worse while in control arm; fatigue (p=0.003), pain (p=0.000), dyspnea (p=0.022), insomnia (p=0.336), appetite (p=0.028), constipation (0.019), diarrhea (p=0.336), financial difficulties (p=0.336) improved and nausea (p=0.120) got worse. Conclusion: QOL assessment by the physician before commencement of the treatment and later on at every visit seems to be beneficial for symptom relief and to allay the anxiety of both patient and their attendants.
