- Abstract
The article details a study which investigated the long-term quality of life (QOL) and sexual function in cervical cancer survivors. More than 800 women with a history of cervical cancer who had been treated at any of 6 hospitals from 1983 through 2004 and 494 control subjects were selected randomly from a representative sample of Korean women. The authors found that cervical cancer survivors had clinically significant worse problems with social functioning, constipation, diarrhea and difficulties with their finances than control subjects.
