The study showed that equal number of the respondents with breast cancer were selected with the frequency of 25 or 50 %..
It is obvious that there is a very low correlation, for the reason that the demographic profiles are not only the factors that affect the quality life of the respondents. In this case, there are only a number of demographic profile factors that could really affect their quality of life. This was proven by using the correlation method of the Pearson product correlation test. Based from the Results, it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between the gender and the quality of life; there is no significant relationship between the age and the quality of life; there is nɔ significant relationship between the civil status and the quality of life; there is no significant relationship between the educational attainment and the quality of life; there is no significant relationship between the occupation and the quality of life; there is no significant relationship between the socio economic status and the quality of life and; there is no significant relationship between the stages o cancer and the quality of life. To test the hypothesis, the researcher found out that there is no significant relationship to the demographic profile and the quality of life of the oncology patients.
