Abstract
Objectives: The main goals of cancer treatment are improvement of quality of life and survival prolongation. There is a limitation to prolonging the survival time in hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer patients who visited for traditional Korean cancer treatment. Methods: We evaluated the quality of life of 23 hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer patients who visited for oriental medicine treatment at East-West Neo Medical Center from June to October of 2007. FACT-G (Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-General), used in this study, is a scale for evaluation of QOL confirmed validity and reliability, popularly used in many countries to evaluate QOL of cancer patients. Results: The average age of enrolled patients was 57. There were 10 hepatocellular carcinoma patients, 7 pancreatic cancer patients, 6 biliary tract cancer patients. Twenty one patients were in stage Ⅳ and 20 patients had distant metastases. By Sasang constitution, Taeumin were 7, Soyangin were 8, and Soeumuin were 8. The baselines of FACT-G score in the first visit were from 34.33 to 85, and the mean score was 67.3. The mean score of FACT-G in hepatocellular carcinoma patients was 67.5, that of pancreatic cancer patients was 62.5, and that of biliary tract cancer patients was 71. Conclusions: This study is valuable as an initial QOL study of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer patients who visited an oriental medical clinic. We believe that consistent studies will be necessary to demonstrate oriental treatment-related quality of life with hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer.
