Quality of life and survival in patients with uterine carcinosarcoma: A tertiary center observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess the QoL in patients with uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) and identify factors influencing survival.

Methods

A prospective cohort study was conducted of patients with UCS who were treated between 2016 and 2022 in a Dutch academic hospital. QoL was evaluated using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-EN24 questionnaires at baseline, end of treatment, and at one, two, and five years after treatment. Outcomes were described as mean scores in functioning and symptom domains. The mean scores of the QLQ-C30 were compared to those of a matched group from the general Dutch population. Clinical data were collected. Factors influencing survival were assessed via Cox proportional hazards models.

Results

The study included 64 patients, 56 of them participate
