Abstract
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. It represents about 30% of all new cancer diagnoses in women.
Aim: The aim of this investigation to assess the quality of life in breast cancer patients by using EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires in the East Kazakhstan.
Materials and methods: A total of 150 patients diagnosed with BC participated in this one-stage cross-sectional study. The QLQ-C30 questionnaire was presented as mean±standard deviation, 95% CI. ANOVA test used to assess differences in EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire by age, education, occupation, and stage of disease.
Results: The average global health score was 46.1±35.6, indicating moderate well-being. Common issues included fatigue (37.6±31.7), pain (30.4±24.9), and insomnia (35.1±37.0). Rural residents reported better global health (64.1±14.3 vs. 42.3±37.5, p=0.004). Higher education was associated with improved cognitive (77.6±29.9 vs. 62.5±25.5, p<0.001) and emotional functioning. Retirees had the highest global health (73.9±24.9), physical (94.2±6.4), and cognitive scores (89.6±14.7, p=0.044). Cancer stage influenced functioning domains but not overall health (p=0.067).
Conclusion: Quality of life in breast cancer survivors varies by age, residence, education, profession, and cancer stage, highlighting the need for personalized support.
