Quality of Life in Lung Cancer Survivors

The purpose of this study is to find out about the quality of life of individuals who have been diagnosed and treated for lung cancer (lung cancer survivors). By quality of life, we mean how you are feeling about different aspects of your life, including your physical health, your emotional health, and your ability to carry out daily activities. We are interested in people's opinions about their quality of life, as well as the factors that affect their quality of life. Learning about quality of life will help us to develop new services for lung cancer survivors.

Treatment and study plan

questionnaires or telephone interview

Behavioral

In the first phase, a random sample of lung cancer survivors will complete a comprehensive telephone interview or questionnaire by self-report focusing on assessment of quality of life and related covariates. We estimate the total time for completion of the survey by telephone interview or self-report to be 45-60 minutes. second phase of the study, a subset of telephone survey participants will take part in a focus group discussion that will explore their perceptions of barriers for delivery of post-treatment medical and psychosocial follow-up care.

Primary outcomes

  1. To describe the health-related quality of life (HQOL) of lung cancer survivors and compare their HQOL with age- and gender-appropriate, population-based normative data.

    Time frame: 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. To describe and identify covariates of HQOL in lung cancer survivors.

    Time frame: 2 years
