The effect of prolonged cycles of chemotherapy on quality of life in gynaecologic cancer patients.
The aim of this study was to determine if the prescription of prolonged cycles of chemotherapy to patients with a variety of gynaecologic cancers has an adverse effect on quality of life (QOL). ⋯ In conclusion, the prescription of prolonged cycles of chemotherapy to patients with gynaecologic cancers does not result in an overall deterioration of QOL. Further more an improvement in subscale and overall QOL was demonstrated in those patients able to attain a complete clinical response (CCR).
