- Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the implications of adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment on the quality of life of women with breast cancer. Method: a quantitative, observational, longitudinal and analytical study performed at a university reference hospital, in the South of Brazil, with 67 women who started chemotherapy. A total of 197 questionnaires were collected in three treatment stages, using questionnaires from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. Results: emotional function was significantly affected in both treatment modalities. However, physical, cognitive and personal performance were compromised in neoadjuvant therapy. Conclusion: the quality of life was altered with greater loss for the women who started the neoadjuvant therapy in relation to the adjuvante.
