Abstract
Breast cancer is the highest malignancy in women among other types of cancer and includes a very diverse disease. Radiation therapy aims to deliver the minimum possible dose to healthy tissue and to the maximum possible dose of cancer cells. Measuring quality of life in breast cancer patients is very important to assess treatment outcomes which are closely related to age and stage. The 3D-CRT technique causes toxic side effects on the skin and in another study the results of breast cancer treatment using the 3D-CRT technique resulted in a worse patient's quality of life than the IMRT technique. However, breast cancer radiation therapy at the Hasanuddin University Hospital Radiotherapy Installation in Makassar still uses the 3D-CRT technique. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research with a cross sectional study approach. 80% of breast cancer patients who have undergone radiation therapy have a poor quality of life (physical health) and 20% have a good quality of life (physical health). There is a significant relationship between age and quality of life (physical health) because the value of Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.004 and there is a significant relationship between stage and quality of life (physical health) with Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.022.
