Abstract: Along with the development of modern medical modality and health awareness, the maintenance of favorable quality of life ( QoL) has become one of the most important goals for cancer survivors. Non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) survivors may suffer from substantial impairment on the overall QoL due to surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, etc. Evaluating the effect of NSCLC treatment upon the QoL of NSCLC patients contributes to understanding and enhancing the QoL through relevant interventions, improving life-cycle surveillance and subsequently obtaining the optimal therapeutic option. In this paper, recent researches on the QoL of NSCLC patients were summarized and reviewed.
