[Quality of life of long-term survivors of surgically treated lung cancer].
Quality of life (QOL) of long-term survivors (more than 3 years after surgery) of primary non-small cell lung cancer was studied. QOL was analyzed using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, 30-Item version 3.0 (QLQ-C30) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Sixty of 91 patients (66%) participated in this study 87 +/- 5 (38-172) months postoperatively. In QLQ-C30, calculated scores of physical (84.0 +/- 2.4), role (81.3 +/- 3.6), cognitive (79.7 +/- 2.6), emotional (86.8 +/- 1.9), and social (91.0 +/- 1.9) functioning, and global QOL (72.6 +/- 2.9) were obtained. Calculated HADS A (anxiety) was 3.3 +/- 0.3 and HADS D (depression) was 4.0 +/- 0.4. Postoperative follow-up duration was correlated with financial impact only. QOL of long-term survivors was influenced by gender histology, marital status, employment status, and academic carrier.
