In Psycho-Oncology, there is growing interest in studies that substantiate effective programs for the
survival stage. Thus, the objective was to understand and analyze the quality of life and subjective
well-being of survivors, with previous diagnosis of bone cancer. For this, 27 survivors and 25
families’ members completed the following instruments: Oncological Experience Assessment for
Survivors, Quality of Life for Cancer Survivors and Scale of Subjective Well-Being. The perceived
quality of life of survivors was more positive than for their relatives. The psychological domain was
estimated as the worst performer. The perception of subjective well-being was similar for survivors
and families. There were no differences in age, tumor location and income among survivors.
