Summary/Abstract: Analysis of quality of life of women who have survived breast cancer was made in the article. It was measured by means of the Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors (QLACS) scale (Avis et al., 2005). 42 women of Bulgarian origin at an average age of 48.79 years (at least 30 and 74 years at most) were studied. The reliability of the scale applied and of each of the 13 scales that build it was shown. The most often shown domains that influence the quality of life of the persons studied are the presence of cognitive problems, the experienced level of energy or fatigue, the perception of the appearance and the avoidance of social contacts.
