- Abstract
The article analyzes the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with cancer between ages 20 and 64 years in the U.S. The 2000 to 2002 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) was used to study HRQOL among respondents who reported limitations of activities due to cancer. The findings stressed the need to examine the HRQOL and lifestyle modification needs of cancer survivors to decrease their suffering.
