Abstract
Although cancer survivors today are able to live longer lives, their quality of life (QOL) is adversely affected by many factors. There is evidence that cancer survivors experience discrimination after their diagnosis. We found among a sample of cancer survivors that perceived discrimination was negatively associated with QOL indicators.
