Abstract

Objectives: To assess the quality of life (QOL) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated at Military Hospital 103 from May 2024 to May 2025 using the FACT-Hep questionnaire. To study some factors related to QOL of HCC patients treated at Military Hospital 103 from May 2024 to May 2025. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study, collecting prospective data on 66 HCC patients who came for examination and were treated or periodically monitored at Military Hospital 103 from May 2024 to May 2025. Results: Average age of patients: 63,35 ± 10,37 years old; male/female ratio: 10/1; The total FACT-Hep score was 143,71 ± 16,20 points. The majority of patients (56,1%) had good QOL, while the number of patients with poor QOL was 29/66 (43,9%). Age, platelet index and tumor size concentration affect the QOL of HCC patients. Conclusion: The average QOL of HCC patients in the study was 143,71 ± 16,20 points. Most patients have good QOL (56,1%). Multivariate analysis showed that 3 factors were statistically significantly related to the QOL of HCC patients: age, platelet index and tumor size. These results emphasize the importance of monitoring and controlling these factors to improve the quality of life of HCC patients
