Purpose The aim was to assess patients’ perception of chemotherapy side effects and analyze the relationship between these, depression, and treatment rejection. Methods A multi-center, signal-arm study in 456 patients with resected, non-metastatic cancer. Conducted upon completion of adjuvant chemotherapy. Participants answered questionnaires evaluating chemotherapy side effects (EORTC-QLC-C30), depression (BSI), and decision regret (DRS). Results The three most common symptoms reported by the patients were fatigue (57.5%), insomnia (56.7%), and pain (31%). Only 7.6% (n=35) expressed regret over having opted to receive adjuvant chemotherapy. Fatigue, insomnia, dyspnea, and pain were associated with more depression, while fatigue, pain, and age were associated with decision regret. Conclusion Healthcare professional should consider decreasing fatigue, insomnia, and pain a priority if quality of life is to be improved for patients receiving chemotherapy. The treatment of the side effects of chemotherapy for cancer is essential to improve the quality of life and compliance with the treatment.
