Abstract

There is an extensive body of scientific literature that studies the relationship between Breast Cancer and Quality of Life. However, studies in Uruguay are still emerging. The aim of this study was to characterize a sample of Uruguayan women with Breast Cancer receiving post-surgical attention at the National Cancer Institute. Thirty-four women completed a Clinical and Socio-demographic form designed ad hoc for this investigation. Health Related Quality of Life was assessed by the MOS-SF-36 V. 2.0. questionnaire. The sample’s mean age was 56,06 years. Most women had received Chemotherapy (73,5%), Radiotherapy (64,7%) or the combination of both (58,8%). Fifty-three percent had undergone Modified Radical Mastectomy. Significant correlations emerged between clinical and socio-demographic variables and SF-36 subscales. Our findings suggest that the type of surgery and adjuvant treatment undergone may have significant impact on these women’s Health Related Quality of Life.
