Description
Inong Meutia and four co-authors study quality of life in ovarian cancer patients in this 2026 paper. The patients were receiving chemotherapy at a referral hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The team asked whether nutrition or anxiety tracks more closely with how patients rate their lives. Nutrition was checked by body mass index and blood albumin. Anxiety was scored with a standard self rating scale.
One hundred and one patients took part in the study, done in 2025. Nutrition scores showed no firm link with any part of quality of life. Anxiety, by contrast, linked clearly with lower global health, physical, emotional, cognitive, and social scores. In the team's joint model, anxiety was the only factor that held up on its own. The authors urge routine anxiety screening as part of cancer care for these patients.
