Answer:
When quality of life (as opposed to quantity of life) is more important to the patient–but the patient is unable to express that preference–they're unlikely to get what they want from their treatment.
Patients with cancer face difficult decisions regarding treatment and the possibility of trading quality of life (QoL) for length of life (LoL). Little information is available regarding patients' preferences and attitudes toward their cancer treatment and the personal costs they are prepared to exchange to extend their life. The aim of this review is to determine the complex trade‐offs and underpinning factors that make patients with cancer choose quality over quantity of life.
