Purpose: Despite the importance of improving the quality of life of lung cancer patients, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of the subject. Therefore, this study aimed to identify factors affecting the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of lung cancer patients in South Korea. Methods: A systematic search of studies published between 1990 and 2024 was conducted using the keywords “lung cancer” and “quality of life” across the databases. A total of 37 articles were selected and analyzed through an integrated review method for this study. Results: Regarding biological and physiological factors, disease stage, treatment duration, and tissue type were found to affect HRQoL, although most studies did not consistently specify tissue type or stage. Symptom-related factors, including fatigue, anxiety, and depression, were found to have a significant impact, along with functional status. In addition, positive health perception, family support, higher educational attainment, and financial well-being were identified as factors to improve HRQoL. Conclusion: To develop and implement effective interventions aimed at improving HRQoL in Korean lung cancer patients, future research should adopt more biologically and physiologically detailed approaches. Furthermore, diversification of research methodologies and the implementation of multicenter studies are strongly recommended.
