For patients still undergoing treatment: in the physical domain, 31% reported good quality of life and 23% reported poor quality of life, while in the environment, psychological and social relationships, 08% reported good quality of life and 23% poor, respectively. For participants with completed treatment, the physical, environment, psychological and social relationships domains obtained 40% with good quality of life and 05% poor.
