Abstract:
By examining quality of life in a prospective cohort of elderly women with and without cancer, cancer‐related effects on quality of life could be distinguished from influences of aging, comorbidity, current treatment, or second primary cancers. As a result, the authors found lower scores for the Medical Outcomes Study 36‐Item Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36) General Health scale and comparable SF‐36 Mental Health scores among survivors relative to cancer‐free women. Quality of life decrements were observed across most SF‐36 scales for survivors of specific cancers, those with advanced stage, and those who had survived the longest.
