The instrument used was the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer – Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30, and the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The average age was 54.6 years old. Married women prevailed (53.4%), with incomplete elementary education (72.1%) and income from one to two minimum wages (62.8%). Quality of Life was considered very satisfactory. According to the development scales and emotional functioning, the result was from regular to satisfactory.
