Life quality of the patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma
Life quality (LQ) is a second (after survival) important criterium in estimation of anti tumor therapy. Investigation of LQ in oncohematological patients is very important, because the treatment approaches were principally modified and prognosis has been improved. We examined 57 patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma. The decrease of LQ indexes on scales of physical component of the health at the moment of examination was observed. Significant differences in LQ indexes were detected among patients with generalized stages of the disease and with extranodular lesions. Growth of majority of LQ indexes was found out during the therapy period and in the period of full clinical and hematological reconvalescence.
