Abstract
Our findings suggest that the diagnosis of Wilms tumor or neuroblastoma may carry substantial risks for lower HRQL. The available background variables, however, explained less than one-third of the variation in the HRQL scores. Thus, other factors than demographic or cancer-related seem to play a significant role as determinants of HRQL.
