Improving Treatment Outcome for Cervical Cancer Using 2-Point Assessment of Quality of Life Among Nigerian Women: A Protocol for a Multi-Center Study.

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with quality of life (QOL) being a major concern for patients with cervical cancer, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This is largely due to the advanced nature of the disease at presentation. Although there are a higher number of studies focusing on the QOL of high-income countries, the QOL of cervical cancer patients in LMICs is not available.
