Cancer Diagnosis May Tax Physical, Mental Health
Date:6/9/2009

. Goodwin and colleagues noted in an accompanying editorial that both studies add to the understanding of quality-of-life issues in cancer patients but that each has limitations.

The first study did not include younger people with cancer or specifics about which cancer treatments resulted in the most significant decreases in quality of life, information that people could use to make decisions about treatment, the editorialists noted.

In the second study, the researchers did not address multimodality treatment, a growing trend for those who have aggressive prostate cancer, and the impact on quality of life, the writers pointed out.

"Further research is needed to better understand the short- and longer-term impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment on overall quality of life, especially as screening becomes more common, our anticancer treatments improve and patients live longer after a diagnosis of cancer," they wrote.
