Cancer in childhood age comprises less than 1% of all diagnosed cancer cases. But is significant, because the childhood cancer is second in mortality, just after accidents. A theoretical part of the study characterizes childhood cancer and its treatment and introduces the term "quality of life". Two goals are set in this work. The first objective is to map the "quality of life" in cancer survivals. The second objective is to analyze how "the attitude towards life" is changed after cancer treatment and whether it differs from healthy children. In this thesis, a quantitative research was used. The standardized SF - 36 questionnaire "on quality of life conditioned by health" and the socio - demographic questionnaire WP 6 - socio - demographic data were used. Three hypotheses were established. H1: "Childhood cancer survivals appreciate their health more than children who did not go through any cancer treatment." H2: "Childhood cancer survivals suffer from cognitive disabilities in comparison to children who did not go through cancer treatment." H3: "Childhood cancer survivals have a more positive relationship to themselves than children who did not go through cancer treatment." The results of this research reveal that young cancer survivors have a similar quality of life as their healthy peers. This thesis should approach the quality of life of children after cancer treatment. The study will be presented at a Professional conference.
