摘要:: This paper compares quality of life in breast and rectal cancer patients. The Munich Cancer Registry records clinical details of all cancer patients in the region. Over a 2-year period, cooperating clinicians recruited patients who were sent quality of life questionnaires, including the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - C30 over 4 years. Breast cancer patients were compared to both male and female rectal cancer patients. A total of 1315 patients returned questionnaires (988 breast cancer, 327 rectal cancer). More breast cancer patients were under 70 years old, received adjuvant therapy, had a good prognosis, took medication and rated psychological support as important. Breast cancer patients reported poorer quality of life than rectal cancer patients in more than half the variables. In particular, they suffered significantly worse emotional functioning, fatigue, pain and sleeplessness. Female rectal cancer patients did not suffer the same problems. Both age groups and those with or without adjuvant therapy indicated the same trend, with breast cancer patients reporting lower scores. Breast cancer patients, despite better prognoses, appear to suffer more psychological problems than rectal cancer patients. Gender, age and therapy did not seem to explain these differences. The negative public perception of breast cancer may play a role.
