OBJECTIVES: To assess long-term quality of life (QOL) in cervical cancer survivors (CCSs), 5, 10, and 15 years after diagnosis. METHODS: In a cross-sectional population-based study, CCSs diagnosed in 1990, 1995, or 2000 were randomly selected from 3 tumor registries in France. Healthy controls were randomly selected from electoral rolls, stratifying on age group and residence area. Five QOL questionnaires (SF-36, EORTC QLQ-C30, the cervical cancer-specific module (EORTC QLQ-CX24), the MFI fatigue questionnaire, the STAI for anxiety) and a life condition questionnaire were used. Analysis of variance was used to compare QOL scores of survivors by period of diagnosis (5, 10, and 15 years) with those of controls and according to treatment modality, adjusted for socio-demographic data. RESULTS: A total of 173 localized CCSs (42% treated with surgery alone and 58% with a combination of treatments) and 594 controls participated in the study. Compared with controls, CCSs expressed globally similar good QOL, except for impaired psychoemotional domains in 15-year survivors (p
