Introduction: Breast cancer is a public health problem that generates various factors and feelings which affect the quality of life. Objective: to evaluate factors associated with quality of life in breast cancer patients. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study involving 82 patients. Quality of life was calculated with WHQOL-BREF and the associated factors were determined using a binary logistic regression model. Results: 73.1% rated quality of life at least as good.

The variables that explain the deterioration of the quality of life were: age <50 years, diagnosis of advanced cancer upon admission to the benefit plan management (EAPB), while protective variables were satisfaction with the service and hormonal therapy.
