Objective: The aims of this study were to compare the quality of life (QOL) of women with different cancer sites; to identify predictors of QOL; and to examine the agreement between patient self-reported QOL and QOL ratings provided by clinicians and significant others.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted including 248 patients with gynecologic and breast cancer. QOL data were collected at six time points before, during, and after treatment, using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the Spitzer QL index (QL-I).
