Core Tip This study highlights significant disparities in quality of life (QoL) among cancer survivors in Saudi Arabia using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF instrument. It identifies key socioeconomic and demographic predictors—such as rural residence, low income, and limited education—that negatively influence domain-specific QoL. These findings underscore the urgent need for culturally and contextually tailored survivorship programs that address social vulnerability, mental health, and environmental support in Middle Eastern settings.
