RATIONALE: Quality-of-life assessment of patients undergoing cancer treatment may help determine the intermediate- and long-term effects of treatment in patients with cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies the quality of life in patients with previously treated ovarian cancer.

Procedure: psychosocial assessment and care Procedure: quality-of-life assessment |
Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | Quality of Life in Ovarian Germ Cell Cancer Survivors |
Study Start Date: | April 1999 |
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare quality of life in terms of health status, sexual functioning, psychological/emotional well being, and social functioning in ovarian germ cell cancer survivors vs a matched healthy control group. II.
Predict quality of life in these patients through the additive effects of cancer diagnosis and treatment, sociodemographic characteristics, other stressors, and social network variables.
OUTLINE: Patients identify up to 3 healthy acquaintance controls within 3 years of the same age. Patients and controls complete a written questionnaire, which takes about 30 minutes, and a telephone interview, which takes about 1 hour, to assess quality of life.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 190 patients and 190 healthy controls will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
