Abstract

Health assessment data assistances well-being and patient care teams' progress care draw up a plan of and assistance comprehend the requirements of the patient people. Comprehensive and exact data about the Quality of Life of cancer patients play a significant part in the development and organization of cancer patients. Quality of Life has been used to mean variability of various things, such as health position, physical functioning, signs, psychosocial modification, well-being, life pleasure, and gladness. Chronic diseases such as cancer are among the disorders that severely affect people's health and consequently their Quality of Life. Cancer patients experience a range of symptoms, including pain and various physical and mental conditions that negatively affect their Quality of Life. In this article, we examined cancer and the impact that this disease can have on the Quality of Life of cancer patients. The cancers examined in this article include head and neck, prostate, breast, lung, and skin cancers. We also discussed health assessment and the importance and purpose of studying patients' Quality of Life, especially cancer patients; the various signs and symptoms of the disease that affect the Quality of Life of patients were reviewed. The results showed that multiple factors under the quality-of-life assessment could affect the Quality of Life by concentrating on physical, emotional, cognitive, and social.
