Chemotherapy and Quality of Life: An Observational Study of Cancer Patients at the Oncology Unit of Tertiary Care Hospital in Islamabad
Chemotherapy significantly improved QoL in specific domains, particularly physical and functional well-being, though emotional and social challenges persisted. These findings highlight the need for early detection, comprehensive supportive care, and survivorship programs tailored to the Pakistani context in mitigating these impacts and enhancing patient well-being.
