The study included 87 patients with endometrial cancer, where, after the removal of the uterus, there was no need for conducting adjuvant therapy (C), as well as 92 female patients with endometrial cancer or 38 patients with ovarian cancer in whom combination therapy was conducted (group A, B). The assessment of the quality of life was conducted using the questionnaires: Satisfaction Life Scale (SWLS), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form (IIQ-7), and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) for three, six, nine, and 12 months after the conclusion of oncological treatment. It was observed that there was a statistically significant decrease in the quality of life in female patients who underwent combination therapy in comparison to a group in whose treatment only included surgery (p &lt; 0.05). The risk of developing urinary incontinence increases alongside an increase in the scope of the operation and in the case of supplementing treatment with brachytherapy in comparison to chemotherapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10061228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]],"date-time":"2021-03-16T12:01:02Z","timestamp":1615896062000},"page":"1228","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Assessment of Dysfunction in the Urinary System as Well as Comfort in the Life of Women during and after Combination Therapy Due to Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer Based on the SWL, II-Q7 and UDI-6 Scales"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8395-279X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Op\u0142awski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics with Gynecologic Oncology, Ludwik Rydygier Memorial Specialized Hospital, 31-826 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Smoczy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Psychology, Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medium, Miko\u0142aj Kopernik\u2019s University CM UMK, 30-835 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1633-7145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beniamin Oskar","family":"Grabarek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics with Gynecologic Oncology, Ludwik Rydygier Memorial Specialized Hospital, 31-826 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Histology, Cytophysiology and Embryology in Zabrze, Faculty of Medicine in Zabrze, University of Technology in Katowice, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"},{"name":"District Hospital in Chrzan\u00f3w, 32-500 Chrzan\u00f3w, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Nursing and Maternity, High School of Strategic Planning in D\u0105browa G\u00f3rnicza, 41-300 D\u0105browa G\u00f3rnicza, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dariusz","family":"Boro\u0144","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics with Gynecologic Oncology, Ludwik Rydygier Memorial Specialized Hospital, 31-826 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Histology, Cytophysiology and Embryology in Zabrze, Faculty of Medicine in Zabrze, University of Technology in Katowice, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"},{"name":"District Hospital in Chrzan\u00f3w, 32-500 Chrzan\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1941","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.31937","article-title":"Estimating the global cancer incidence and mortality in 2018: GLOBOCAN sources and methods","volume":"144","author":"Ferlay","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int.
