Quality of life for the gynecologic oncology patient.

Abstract:

:An attempt is made to define the quality of life in terms of the patient with gynecologic cancer. The effect of the diagnosis of cancer and its recurrence or its terminal state on the quality of life is considered. Possible methods of assessing the patient's individual feelings about the quality of her life are reviewed and suggestions made for incorporating these into plans of management at all stages of the disease.
