Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Breast cancer is ranked the first female cancer (33.4%) in Morocco; and more than 60% cases are diagnosed at stage III or IV. During the last decade, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has become an important part of breast cancer treatment. Aim: The objective of this study is to describe self- reported HRQOL in patients with breast cancer and to investigate its associations with socio-demographic and clinical variables. Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the main oncology centers in Morocco. Quality of life was measured using the Moroccan Arabic version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C 30 (EORTC QLQ C30) and Breast Cancer-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BR23). Statistical data analyses were performed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analyses. Results: A total of 1463 subjects were included in the study. The subjects' mean age was 55.6 (SD. 11.2) years, 70% were married. The majority of the subjects had stage II (45.9%) and the few cases had stage IV (12.9%). Participants had a mean score for global health of 68.5. Among functional scales, social functioning scored the highest (mean 86.2, SD = 22.7). The most distressing symptom on the symptom scales was financial difficulties (mean 63.2, SD = 38.2). Using the disease-specific tool, it was found that future perspective scored the lowest (mean 40.5, SD = 37.3). On the symptom scale, arm symptoms scored the highest (mean 23.6, SD = 21.6). Significant mean differences were noted for many functional and symptom scales. Conclusion: Our results emphasize that the general HRQOL of the studied women is fairer than that of the corresponding population in other countries. This study provided baseline information on the quality of life of a large sample of Moroccan women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Introdução: O câncer de mama pode alterar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde das pacientes. Objetivo: Compreender o impacto da quimioterapia para câncer de mama na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de pacientes. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, compreendendo artigos publicados entre 2007 e 2019, disponíveis nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e SciELO. Analisaram-se 25 artigos na íntegra. Resultados: Os questionários mais frequentemente utilizados nos estudos foram o European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) e o módulo complementar European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Breast Cancer-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BR23). Em relação às alterações da qualidade de vida, a saúde global diminui durante a quimioterapia, mas pode melhorar após o término do tratamento. O aumento dos sintomas é relatado em diversos estudos e prejudicou a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde das pacientes. Entretanto, os sintomas diminuem após o término da quimioterapia, exceto para algumas escalas. As escalas de imagem corporal, função sexual e funcionamento físico pioram ao longo do tratamento. A qualidade de vida mental/psicológica tem oscilações durante o tratamento, assim como a escala sobre as relações sociais. Conclusão: A qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de mulheres com câncer de mama é afetada negativamente pelo tratamento quimioterápico, expressando maior impacto nas escalas de sintomas.

Introduction: The Malay Version of EORTC-QLQ C30 was validated among Malaysian women who had undergone breast cancer surgery. Materials and Methods: Test-retest evaluation (i.e. three weeks and ten weeks following surgery) was carried out to examine the validity and reliability of the scale. The Cronbach’s alpha value was used to determine the internal consistency, meanwhile, test-retest Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) indicates the reliability of the scale. Effect Size Index and Mean Differences interpret the sensitivity of the scale. Discriminant validity was evaluated by comparing two groups i.e. women who had mastectomy and women who had lumpectomy. Results: Internal consistencies are acceptable for Global Health Status (0.91), Functional domains (ranging from 0.50-0.89) and Symptomatology domains (ranging from 0.75-0.99). Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) ranged from 0.05 to 0.99 for Global Health Status and Functional domains, and ranged from 0.13 to 1.00 for Symptomatology domains. Sensitivity of the scale was observed in nearly all of the domains. Conclusion: The Malay Version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ C30) is a suitable tool to measure the quality of life of women with breast cancer.

Pendahuluan. Peningkatan angka ketahanan hidup pasien kanker payudara tidak selalu diikuti oleh peningkatan kualitas hidup. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) menekankan pentingnya melakukan penilaian kualitas hidup pada pasien kanker. Saat ini, di Indonesia, belum ada kuesioner yang valid dan reliabel untuk menilai kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara secara akurat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan bahwa European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Breast 23 (EORTC QLQ-BR23) merupakan alat ukur yang reliabel dan valid digunakan di IndonesiaMetode. Penelitian ini adalah studi potong lintang. Penelitian dimulai dengan menerjemahkan EORTC QLQ-BR23 ke dalam bahasa Indonesia dan kemudian di uji coba pada 10 responden. Setelah itu, EORTC QLQ-BR23 hasil terjemahan digunakan pada penelitian utama dengan jumlah sampel yang lebih besar. Test-retest dinilai dengan Intraclass Correlation Coeficient (ICC). Konsistensi internal dinilai dengan cronbach alpha. Construct validity dinilai dengan multi-trait scaling analysis. Validitas kriteria dinilai dengan melihat korelasi antara domain European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Cancer30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) dan EORTC QLQ-BR23 dengan Short Form 36(SF36).Hasil. Telah dilakukan pengambilan data terhadap 100 pasien kanker payudara yang menjalani terapi dari September - Oktober 2015. Nilai ICC (interval 1 jam) pada semua domain EORTC QLQ-BR23 sangat baik (ICC > 0,8). Terdapat penurunan nilai ICC (interval 30 hari) pada semua domain EORTC QLQ-BR23. Nilai cronbach alpha > 0,7 pada hampir semua domain EORTC QLQ-BR23 kecuali domain gejala lengan (Cronbach Alpha: 0,643). Multi-trait scaling analysis menunjukkan korelasi cukup tinggi antara skor butir pertanyaan dengan skor domainnya sendiri. Sedangkan hubungan butir pertanyaan dengan domain yang berbeda selalu mempunyai korelasi yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan domainnya sendiri. Pada uji validitas kriteria, didapatkan 19 korelasi dengan r > 0,3 antara domain EORTC QLQ-C30 dan EORTC QLQ-BR23 dengan SF36.Simpulan. EORTC QLQ-BR23 merupakan alat ukur yang valid dan reliabel  untuk menilai kualitas hidup pasien kanker payudara di Indonesia Kata Kunci: Kualitas Hidup, EORTC QLQ-BR23, Validitas, Reliabilitas, Kanker Payudara Validity and Reability Test of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Breast23 in Breast Cancer Patient on TreatmentIntroduction. Improved survival of breast cancer patients are not necessarily followed by improvement of quality of life. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) emphasize the importance of assessing the quality of life in cancer patients. Currently, in Indonesia, there has been no reliable and valid questionnaire to assess quality of life of breast cancer patients accurately. This study aims to prove that the EORTC QLQ-BR23 is valid and reliable measuring instrument used in Indonesia.Methods. This is a cross-sectional study. The study began with the EORTC QLQBR23 translated into Indonesian and then tested on 10 respondents. After that, The Indonesian version of EORTC QLQ-BR23 is used in the main study with a larger sample size. Test-retest was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach alpha. Construct validity was assessed by multi-trait scaling analysis. The criteria validity assessed by looking at the correlation between domains European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Cancer 30 (EORTC QLQC30) and EORTC QLQ-BR23 with Short Form 36 (SF36).Results. Data collection were done on 100 breast cancer patients on treatment from September to October 2015. ICC value (1 hour interval) in all domains of EORTC QLQ-BR23 is very good (ICC> 0.8). There is a decline in the value of ICC (30 days interval) in all domains of EORTC QLQ-BR23. Cronbach alpha values > 0.7 in almost all domains of EORTC QLQ-BR23 domain unless symptoms arm domain (Cronbach's Alpha: 0.643). Multi-trait scaling analysis showed a fairly high correlation between the scores of the questions with a score of his own domain. While the relationship of the questions with different domains always have a lower correlation than the domain itself. In criteria validity test, obtained 19 correlation with r > 0,3 between domains EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 with SF36.Conclusion. EORTC QLQ-BR23 is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing quality of life of breast cancer patients in Indonesia

Introdução: A qualidade de vida de pacientes oncológicos tem sido objeto de estudo em muitos trabalhos brasileiros. Contudo, apesar da alta prevalência de indivíduos submetidos a radioterapia, poucos estudos com ênfase nesse grupo de pacientes foram identificados. Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida e a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em pacientes com neoplasias malignas durante o tratamento radioterápico. Método: Estudo transversal quantitativo realizado com 153 pacientes oncológicos em vigência de tratamento radioterápico em um centro especializado em oncologia e radioterapia, localizado no Noroeste do Estado do Parana. Os dados foram coletados entre marco e setembro de 2018. O European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) e o Inventario de Depressão de Beck foram utilizados para avaliar a qualidade de vida e os sintomas depressivos, respectivamente. Resultados: Os domínios “qualidade de vida”, “função cognitiva” e “função social” foram os que menos se mostraram prejudicados na amostra estudada, enquanto “insônia”, “perda de apetite” e “dificuldades financeiras” destacaram-se entre os maiores preditores de baixa qualidade de vida. Ademais, contatou-se que 22% dos indivíduos avaliados apresentaram algum grau de transtorno de humor, sendo 11% diagnosticados com depressão. Conclusão: O declínio na qualidade de vida e a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em pacientes oncológicos, mesmo os em vigência de radioterapia, enaltecem a importância de intervenções precoces que visem a restabelecer a funcionalidade e o bem-estar.

The Impact

Backround/Aim. Considering the distinct increase in the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer over oral cavity cancers and changing epidemiology with human papilloma virus (HPV) infection emerging as an important risk factor, there is a need to establish better treatment choices in specific groups of patients with oropharyngeal cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QOL) and functional performance and the impact of different demographical data, stage of disease, and treatment type on these parameters in patients with oropharyngeal cancer with successfully achieved locoregional control a year after the treatment. Methods. Study included 87 patients who underwent QOL and functional impairment assessment 12 to 14 months after finished oncological treatment with the following questionnaires: the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of Life-Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of- Life Questionnaire-Head and Neck 35 (EORTC QLQ-H&N35) and The Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS). Results. Specific groups of patients had significantly different post-treatment QOL scores. The factors associated with the worse QOL scores were female gender, not being in a partnership, level of education and HPV status. Conclusion. Clinicians should consider socioeconomic factors and HPV status in planning the recovery after treatment of patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma. Gender, education level and employment are the variables that form a certain risk profiles associated with the lower QOL.
