Abstract
Introduction: The management of one of the most common neoplasms among women, cervical cancer (CC), involves interventions and treatments that can cause a variety of side effects. These adverse reactions, combined with the emotional and social impact of the disease, affect women's quality of life (QoL). Objectives: To identify the impact of CC and its treatment on women's QoL. Methodology: This is an integrative review in which information and data were collected from the following databases: Scielo, PubMed, and BVS, with articles in Portuguese and English, published between 2015 and 2025. Conclusion: CC significantly affects women's QoL in several areas, such as physical dimensions and body image.
