Gender-specific quality of life after cancer in young adulthood: a comparison with the general population



young adulthood

Conclusions

Results clearly indicate that young adult cancer patients have a reduced quality of life in comparison with the general population even long after the treatment of their disease is complete. Women had a lower quality of life than men. Age-specific interventions should be offered that lead to improvements in quality of life for this age group. And future studies should clarify what factors lead to women’s quality of life being worse than men’s.
