Background: One of the positive outcomes of improvements in cancer care is the increasing number of people who survive the disease. Worldwide, the number of cancer survivors will continue to increase, with a threefold increase predicted from 25 million in 2008 to 75 million in 2030. Breast cancer survivors have the highest survival rates compared other types of cancer. Following a diagnosis of breast cancer, issues that women often worry about include the possibility of cancer recurrence, challenges with reacclimatizing to daily life posttreatment completion and numerous other emotional and physical challenges. It is unknown whether over time the coping skills of these survivors enable them to have a similar quality of life (QOL) as other normal women. This study aimed to assess and compare the quality of life (QOL) among breast cancer survivors and nonbreast cancer survivors in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. Methods: This case-control study used the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ) to ascertain QOL within breast cancer survivors and nonbreast cancer survivors. Simple random sampling was used to identify i) participants from the case arm -from four cancer-related NGOs in the Klang Valley; and ii) participants from the control arm - from women attending Kuala Lumpur Hospital. 176 number of participants were involved in this study with a 1:1 ratio. Result: There was no significant difference in quality of life (QOL) between breast cancer survivors and nonbreast cancer survivors in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. The longer the period of survival (5 years and above), the higher the QOL levels in breast cancer survivors. Conclusion: In conclusion, women with breast cancer especially those who had survived more than 5 years, had similar quality of life (QOL) levels as women who did not suffer from the disease. Women with breast cancer may have developed additional coping skills which could be taught to other patients living with cancer or even those with other chronic illnesses.
