Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the quality of life and psychological condition of patients with low-grade glioma undergoing surgery combined radiotherapy by the MOS item short from health survey (SF-36), anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) to assessment of patients with physical, psychological, mental, emotional state, etc. Investigate the effect of different doses of radiotherapy on the quality of life of patients with low-grade gliomas after operation, and to provide a favorable basis for the treatment of patients with low-grade glioma.

Methods

A total of 132 patients with low-grade glioma were recruited in the Department of Neurosurgery, Third Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2012 to January 2016. All patients were randomized into three groups: 41 patients in the high dose radiotherapy group, 32 patients in the low dose radiotherapy group and 59 patients in the observation group (without radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other drugs after surgical resection of the tumor). Three groups of patients were followed up for 1 year, the quality of life and psychological assessed by SF-36, SAS and SDS were collected and statistical analyses.

Results

The results of SF-36 scale showed that the physiological function, physical pain, energy and social function of the high-dose radiation group were lower than those of the low-dose radiation group and the observation group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference among the three groups in physiological function, general health status, emotional function and mental health (P>0.05). The scores of SAS and SDS showed that the patients in the high dose radiation group and the low dose radiation group had more anxiety and depression tendency than those in the observation group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

Conclusion

High-dose radiotherapy after low-grade glioma surgery has a certain impact on short-term quality of life of patients, and the recovery period is long. It is suggested that low-dose radiotherapy be given to patients with low-grade glioma after surgery. For younger patients with good prognosis, it is suggested that follow-up be observed after surgery to avoid the decline of life stock and the potential impact of radiation.

Key words: Low-grade glioma, Radiation therapy, Quality of life, Anxiety, Depression.
