Abstract: The present study comprised a total of 110 patients, who completed a questionnaire containing multiple questions. The aim of the study was to assess the quality of life of Iraqi patients suffering from bladder cancer. The study was designed according to the analysis of the results and demographic data of the Patients’ Quality of Life Program, which was measured using a questionnaire distributed to patients to assess symptoms and… negative aspects that Iraqi patients experienced during the period from 2022 to 2024. In this study, a questionnaire consisting of 26 questions was distributed to patients according to The HRQoL, which included all social and psychological criteria, anxiety, and fear, in addition to pain. The results found that the most prevalent age group was The study found that the most prevalent age group was 40 to 50 years. The stage at diagnosis was as follows: I: 18.18% of patients. II: 36.36% of patients. III: 36.36% of patients. IV: 9.09% of patients. In this study, patients receiving treatment for bladder cancer demonstrated a significant enhancement in quality of life at the conclusion of treatment in all domains, though this was non-significant in the domains of “regarding the disease,” “self-esteem,” and “emotional state.” However, the treatment proved to be statistically significant in the domains of “work-life,” “daily life,” and “sexual life.” The enhancement in quality of life is observed to be early in comparison to the status of the patients prior to the treatment, with substantial variations noted in all domains during the second visit following the intervention. It is hypothesised that the treatment exerts a considerable influence on the patient’s general condition upon its completion, thereby resulting in a substantial enhancement in their quality of life. Among the domains that have undergone significant modifications is the section entitled “Regarding the disease,” where the score has been reduced by five points, which is indicative of an improvement in urinary tract problems
