Resumo: This study aimed at identifying changes in the quality of life of older people with cancer and characterizing the socio-demographic, clinical and therapeutic data, associating them with domains of health-related quality of life. This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in a private clinic in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, from August 2012 to July 2013.

The instrument Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (QLQ-C30) and a socio-demographic, clinical and therapeutic instrument were used to collect data which were then analyzed by the Statistical Package for Social Science software.
