Background: In Slovakia, the number of people suffering from the kidney cancer has been increasing, while being one of the most malignant urological tumors. In our study, we were focusing on the quality of life of people suffering from this disease. Goals: The goal of study was to find out what impact the kidney carcinoma has on the patients' quality of life. Sample: Our sample consists of patients with kidney carcinoma who are treated in selected urological clinics. Methods: We chose a method of quantitative research. The data collection method was a combined questionnaire. Results: The results of our study point to the general quality of life of patients suffering from a kidney carcinoma. We discovered the negative impact of this disease on the quality of professional and social life, as well as life in general. This disease also negatively affects the patients' family members. Conclusion: The kidney carcinoma has a negative effect on the patients' quality of life. In order to increase the life quality, it is essential to focus on early diagnosis, a more effective treatment of this disease, proper edification and sufficient patients' awareness.
