## Summary

Herat Regional Hospital has an oncology department, where a cross-sectional study surveyed 230 patients with cancer between February and May 2024 using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire (Cancer Reports, 2025). Oesophageal and gastric cancers were the commonest types and most patients were at stage two; financial difficulty was the most burdensome symptom, social functioning scored lowest, and men reported higher overall quality of life than women. The authors, from Jami University in Herat, call for early diagnosis and supportive care that addresses financial toxicity. OnCo read no website of the hospital.
