Background: Quality of life (QoL) is the awareness of individuals’ well-being in life in physical, personal, mental and social wellbeing and needs to be addressed in brain tumor patients. Methods: A retrospective study conducted in 2017 in a single academic center that included patients diagnosed with brain tumors in a 10 year period. The assessment of the QoL was done using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), a standardized model (QLQ-C30) that assess several domains (Global Health, Physical function, Role functioning, Emotional Functioning, Cognitive functioning, social functioning and symptoms domain) and Brain cancer model (BN20) to assess symptoms to evaluate all aspects of wellbeing. Results: The total number of patients included in this study is 76 patients with no gender predilection. The most common brain tumor was meningioma by 40% followed by glioma/ others. More than half of the brain tumor patients had a WHO grade I (65%), intermediate grading grade II (15%) and higher grading grade III/IV (20%). The scales and measurements of functioning in life were low in all types of brain tumors. Conclusions: Quality of life in brain tumor patients seemed poor regardless of the type. Further prospective studies are needed to assess QoL worldwide.
