“…However, it should be mentioned as other studies (for example [18]) showed that education was not associated with QoL. Finally, as already described elsewhere [1,12,15,17,18,23,24], those who reported having other health problems showed a worse quality of life in all domains considered (except in Mental health, in the present study).…”

Purpose Understanding the quality of life (QoL) of cancer survivors is relevant to both clinical practice and health care policy. The current study compared the QoL profile in this specific population with that of a normative sample for the general population, as well as with those of both healthy and oncological patients normative sub-samples. In addition, associations between the obtained QoL profile and the main socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the sample were examined. Methods Three hundred and ninety-two adult long-term cancer survivors (i.e., people 5 + years from their cancer diagnosis who were free from it and its treatments) were enrolled during follow-up visits and compiled the Short Form 36 Health Survey. Results In comparison with the normative data for the adult general population, the present sample showed lower scores in Physical functioning, Role-physical limitation, and Roleemotional limitations (all differences were both statistically and clinically significant); the difference in Vitality was only statistically significant. In all eight SF-36 scales, scores of the present sample were clinically and statistically lower than those of the normative healthy subsample, whereas they were statistically and clinically higher than those of normative subsample which had experienced cancer, except for Rolephysical limitation. The QoL profile was associated with gender (p = 0.002), age (p = 0.001), education (p < 0.001), occupational status (p < 0.001), and the presence of other health issues (p < 0.001). Conclusion These data support the utility of rehabilitative programs which integrate both healthcare and social interventions. In addition, they encourage the monitoring of the health status of this specific population, within a broad frame which simultaneously takes into consideration health and QoL.

“…Across multiple datasets, the incidence of sexual dysfunction ranges from 30% to 100% among female cancer survivors [5,15]. Although studies show that the overall quality of life of survivors is quite good (especially in long-term survivors) [16][17][18], a significant proportion of patients remain at risk for persistent or worsening symptoms, including symptoms related to sexual health [19]. Although much of this work has been done in breast cancer survivors [19][20][21][22][23], emerging literature shows similar figures affected for survivors of gynecologic cancer [17,[24][25][26] and other cancer types [27][28][29][30].…”

As more and more people are successfully treated for and live longer with cancer, greater attention is being directed toward the survivorship needs of this population. Women treated for cancer often experience issues related to sexual health and intimacy, which are frequently cited as areas of concern, even among long-term survivors. Unfortunately, data suggest that providers infrequently discuss these issues. We reviewed a contemporary understanding of sexual health of women and the impact of treatment on both sexual function and intimacy.

“…Few population-based studies have explored the possible variations in fatigue in different types of cancer or compared fatigue levels with a normative population [17]. Most population-based studies focused on a specific cancer with small samples [18][19][20][21]. One study have reported on the prevalence and patterns of CRF from a large population-based group of heterogeneous cancer survivors [22].…”

Fatigue levels are substantial in (long-term) cancer survivors and vary depending on cancer type, time since diagnosis, age, gender, treatment with chemotherapy, number of comorbid conditions, educational level, and partnership. Since significantly more cancer survivors feel fatigued in comparison with the normative population, appropriate information, assessment, and interventions for fatigue are needed during or after oncologic treatment. Furthermore, focus on better control or management of comorbid conditions of cancer survivors is recommended.
