BackgroundAs patients with cervical cancer and precancerous lesions can be diagnosed at early stage and live longer, it is imperative to understand their health-related quality of life so that better cancer-related policies could be promoted and reasonable distribution of limited resources could be implemented. We conducted a cross-sectional study in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University to assess the health-related quality of life in our targeted population. Due to the characteristics of Yunnan nationality, our study population includes both Han people and ethnic minorities.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2019 to December 2020, and 300 patients were selected, who were initially diagnosed with cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) pathologically. EQ-5D questionnaire was used to evaluate their quality of life.ResultsPatients in Han and ethnic minorities showed good comparability. EQ-5D VAS score was statistically significant between Han and ethnic minorities (mean, 85.42 vs. 81.01;P<0.05). EQ-5D utility score was slightly different but without statistical significance between the two groups (mean, 0.959 vs. 0.932;P>0.05). Nationality, economic trouble, menopause status and participation of China National Cervical Cancer Screening Program (CNCCSP) are influencing factors of HRQoL among women with cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. Besides, we also found low awareness in the CNCCSP and human papilloma virus vaccine, as well as low participation in the national screening program.ConclusionThe results of our study imply that the difference of HRQoL does exist between Han people and ethnic minorities with cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. Health providers and health-related departments need to invest more health and financial resources to expand the awareness and participation of the screening project. More efforts should be made in underdeveloped minority areas to assure the accessibility of health resources and interventions. To mitigate economic trouble caused by the diseases, more equal insurance reimbursement should be suggested and implemented in people with or without employee insurance.
