Description
Sixten Borg and co-authors publish a 2026 cross-sectional survey of quality of life among people living with or beyond cancer in southern Sweden. Participants had breast, prostate, lung, or colorectal cancer diagnosed one to two or five to six years earlier. A standard European questionnaire measured their wellbeing.
More than two thousand people responded. Scores were worse for younger respondents, those with several other illnesses, and those with lung or colorectal cancer. Overall, respondents matched published values for the general Swedish population. The team presented results in several formats, including scale scores and problem ranges, and found the formats agreed. Care could improve by focusing on the subgroups that scored lowest.
