Method: This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This study aims to identify the factors that affect the quality of life of breast cancer patients. A comprehensive search was performed across several databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search was limited to studies published between 2019 and 2022, which were written in English. Results: Factors that affect the quality of life of breast cancer patients include age, education level, social support, psychological stress and anxiety, economic status, depression, and physical symptoms. Conclusion: Several factors can affect the quality of breast cancer patients, so the patient needs support from the family and health policies from the government in their treatment.
