Quality of Life (QOL) in Cancer Care

Quality of Life (QOL) in cancer care refers to a person’s overall well-being and ability to enjoy daily activities during and after treatment. It considers physical comfort (like managing symptoms), emotional health (such as coping with anxiety or depression), social connections, and personal goals. The goal is to not only treat the cancer but also to support patients in maintaining their dignity, independence, and happiness. Improving QOL helps patients live as comfortably and meaningfully as possible during their cancer journey.
