An increasing number of patients with lung cancer are undergoing outpatient chemotherapy, and thus, it is very important to maintain the quality of life(QOL)of these patients. Ninjin-Youei-To(TJ-108), a Japanese traditional medicine, has been reported to improve the QOL of patients with advanced cancer. However, the effect of TJ-108 in patients with lung cancer undergoing outpatient chemotherapy is unknown. Therefore, we conducted this study. To investigate factors influencing the QOL of these patients, we administered a QOL questionnaire,"The QOL Questionnaire for Cancer Patients Treated with Anticancer Drugs"(QOL-ACD)to 15 patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Factors related to the overall QOL scores and other categories indicating"activity","physical condition","psychological condition","social relationship", and"face scale" were analyzed. No significant decrease in each of the evaluated factors was observed in this study.
