A systematic review conducted by researchers at the University of Hyderabad in India aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of health-related quality of life (QoL) issues among cancer survivors in India. The review included 34 quantitative descriptive studies focusing on adult cancer patients in India and found that most of the included studies reported low or below-average overall QoL of the patients. Factors such as pain, fatigue, emotional distress, social relationships, and financial burden significantly influenced overall QoL. The researchers concluded that a comprehensive, culturally adapted approach is necessary to enhance QoL, along with the development of standardized assessment tools and longitudinal study designs.
