Mixed-methods analysis shows significant factors affecting quality of life in cancer patients, suggesting improvements are possible.

Quality of life assessment revealed 52% of patients had slightly degraded quality of life while 10% experienced significant degradation.
Factors such as disease stage (p=0.003) and presence of metastases (p=0.004) were significantly associated with poorer quality of life outcomes.
Using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire allowed for standardized scoring of quality of life across 60 cancer patients in a national hospital.
Addressing factors like marital status and treatment type could enhance cancer patients' quality of life in future care strategies.
