Background summary
In the rapid course of disease, lung cancer tends to focus on treating
patients' physical symptoms, while psychosocial problems get less atttention.
In line with this, clinical trials have mainly focused on traditional
endpoints, for instance, overall survival and disease-free survival. Given the
relatively poor prognosis of patients with lung cancer, the inclusion of
quality of life as a primary endpoint of treatment becomes increasingly
important. Although there is paucity of research adressing the psychosocial
aspects of lung cancer, an increasing recognition emerges regarding the
importance of identifying the psychosocial needs of patients.
Study objective
The main objective of this study is to examine the incidence of psychosocial
needs, anxiety and depressive symptoms at each time point, and to identify risk
factors for worse short-term Quality of Life (QOL) in lung cancer patients and
their partners. The role of sociodemograhphc, clinical and psychosocial factors
on patient's and partners'QOL.
