Abstract

this study had the aim to know the prevalence, profile and the quality of life (QoL) of patients with malignant neoplasm in a small Southern Brazilian county. Besides largely studied this study is justified due a lack of information in the Brazilian population.This is a cross-sectional population-based and case-control study. The data were collected between May to August 2008 in all residences of the municipal district and, for each sick individual a sex and age matched control were selected. QoL was evaluated through WHOQOL-Bref.Fifty eight patients were identified with age between 11 to 90 years (mean 62.9 ± 16.5). The prevalence of individuals with malignant neoplasm was 1% in the municipal district and those had statistically worst QoL when compared with controls.This census performed in the district of Luzerna/ Brazil showed that 1% of the district population has cancer and the results indicate that that specific population has poorer QoL, independently of age and tumor kind.
