Abstract
The article discusses the results of a psychological study of the quality of life of 28 lung cancer patients who receiving immunotherapy. The quality of life was assessed independently by the patients using the Dembo–Rubinstein questionnaire. Before the start of immunotherapy, patients remained dissatisfied with their health, appearance, sexual relations, and mood. A repeated study showed that these spheres of life were significantly improved in all the subjects, and health satisfaction increased by more than 1.5 times compared with the initial one. In the course of immunotherapy, a significant increase in the scales of social functioning is noted: communication with others, opportunities for leisure and recreation. A repeated study showed that there were twice as many patients who returned to professional activity (32.1% versus 17.9% of the primary).
