A positive correlationwas found between the PedsQL child and parent report scores for all children with cancer (p= 0.000).Conclusion: According to the results of our study, it was seen that children who have recurrent cancer had reported a better qualityof life and that children and parents have similar perceptions in terms of quality of life.
