Abstract Objective To examine the impacts of chemotherapy/radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and combined treatment on the quality of life in patients with intermediate and advanced lung cancer. Methods The patients with intermediate and advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy/radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and combined treatment for the first time were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Weifang City, Shandong Province, using a quota sampling method in September 2023. Basic information was collected using a general information questionnaire, and the quality of life was assessed using the Chinese version of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General. The investigation started on the 7th day of treatment, and the follow-ups were conducted at 3 and 6 months. The quality of life in patients with different treatment regimens and at different treatment time were compared using repeated measure analysis of variance. Results There were 26 chemotherapy/radiotherapy patients, 32 targeted therapy patients, and 95 combination therapy patients. There were no significant differences in age, gender, place of residence, education level, self-rated economic status, medical insurance, pathological type and disease stage among the three treatment regimens (all P>0.05). The repeated measure analysis of variance showed an interaction effect between time and group among patients receiving the three treatment regimens (P<0.05). The quality of life scores of patients receiving combination therapy decreased with extended treatment time (all P<0.05). The quality of life scores of patients receiving targeted therapy at 3 and 6 months were lower than those treated for 7 days (both P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in quality of life scores among chemotherapy/radiotherapy patients with different treatment durations (all P>0.05). At 3 and 6 months, patients receiving combination therapy had lower quality of life scores compared to those receiving chemotherapy/radiotherapy or targeted therapy (all P<0.05). Conclusion The decline in quality of life for patients with intermediate and advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy/radiotherapy and targeted therapy is less than that for patients receiving combined therapy.
