Introduction: In Poland, most cervical cancer cases are reported among women older than 20, however the highest incidence rate concerns the subpopulation of women between the ages of 45 and 60 (60%). Poland has one of the highest mortality rates in cervical cancer in Europe whereas the 5-year survival rate is low. These numbers result from late diagnosis when cancer is advanced. This situation finds a direct reflection in poor quality of life of patients with cervical cancer in Poland. Purpose: Evaluation of quality of life of women treated for cervical cancer. Material and methods: The study group included 59 women receiving therapy in the Gynecologic Oncology Clinic in Rzeszow (January and April 2012). The following standardized measuring tools were used: QLQ-C30, QLQ-CX24 EORTC. An appropriate consent was obtained from the EORTC group. Results: Physical functioning of patients with cervical cancer was quite good. Weakness and nausea were the two most frequent complaints, and their severity increased with the stage of disease. Emotional status of respondents correlated with the presence of symptoms and patient’s marital status. Younger women had significantly poorer perception of their body image. Only 30% of respondents were active sexually. Most patients were afraid of pain during sexual intercourses. Women with better financial status received higher scores when assessing their health status and quality of life. Conclusions: Women with cervical cancer should receive complex and multidisciplinary care from the beginning of therapy so they are prepared for coping with all consequences of their disease.
