Background. Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in Vietnam. Research on health-related quality of life of Vietnamese gastric cancer patients is still in its infancy. Aim. To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of GC patients using the 15D instrument. Materials and Method. 182 Vietnamese gastric cancer patients were selected to be interviewed and their HRQOL was assessed using the generic 15D questionnaire. Tables regarding history, disease characteristics, and HRQOL of participants were formulated according to genders using STATA 12.0. Results. The average age of the participants was 60.8 ± 11.6. The average time from diagnosis to the date of interview was 14.8 ± 8.4 months. The health-related quality of life (HRQOL) index score of gastric cancer patients using the 15D instrument was 0.92 ± 0.08, in which the “sexual activity” dimension had the lowest score of 0.66. Also, our study found several factors affecting HRQOL, including age, occupation, education, disease stage, treatment, and time from the date of diagnosis. Conclusion. The 15D instrument was a suitable tool to assess Vietnamese gastric cancer patients’ quality of life. Findings from the study suggest the importance of frequently measuring personal functioning and performance of GC patients as parts of QOL assessment during clinical examination. It also implies the needs for more focused policies on raising the overall quality of life of patients such as encouragement of periodical HQROL assessment and acknowledging HRQOL as a treatment/intervention goal besides the 5-year survival rate.

Gastric Cancer Patients

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients gives valuable information regarding the burden of disease, type of treatment and its side effects in studies on chronic diseases. In this study an attempt is made to predict the QoL of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer.METHODS: In a cross sectional prospective study, data of 107 patients with GI cancers 58 male & 49 female with a mean age of 60.7±10.5 referred to a hospital from April 2009 to June 2015 were collected by using two standard questionnaires of EORTC-QLQ C30 and EORTC-QLQ-GINET 21. Data analysis was done using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and correlation test in soft wares of STATA and SPSS.16.RESULTS: Total QoL score was 50.7±24.6 in patients with gastrointestinal cancer which is almost optimal. Symptoms level was more in gastric cancer patients and their major complaints were constipation and diarrhea.  QoL of patients with GI cancers were more affected by the educational level and type of cancer (P<0.05).A high correlation of QoL was related to social and emotional domains (P<0.05). Mean score of QoL was more in males with colorectal cancer, educated and retired patients (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: the social and emotional support to patients with esophageal cancer and to reduce the level of symptoms in patients with gastric cancer due to complications of their diseases or treatment should be of consideration to improve their QoL.
