Abstract: Objective To evaluate adherence and quality of life to oral antineoplastic treatment in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. To compare adherence and quality of life according to treatment subgroups and treatment-line subgroups. Methods We conducted a descriptive prospective study from June to November 2021 in a tertiary care hospital. ?Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, seen at the Oncology Pharmacy and treated with oral antineoplastic drugs for at least 6 months prior to inclusion in the study were included. Adherence was assessed using Morisky's 8 item Medication Adherence Scale and leftover pills counts, considering adherents if their adherence rate was ? 90%. Quality of life was assessed with Euro-Qol EQ-5D-3L questionnaire, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy ? Fatigue scale and QLQ-C30 questionnaire from European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. Two interviews were scheduled: at the time of inclusion and at 3?months. The clinical history was reviewed and demographic and clinical variables were collected. The data statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS® 25.0 software. Results Twenty three patients were included, all of them showed an adherence rate higher than 90%; 20 patients were considered high adherent, and 3 patients médium adherent to treatment according to Morisky's 8 item Medication Adherence Scale. The results of the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire showed that the patients were all of them autonomous in their personal care and daily activities, 69.6% did not have any mobility problems and 78.3% did not have anxiety/depression; 56.5% had some type of pain. Eighteen patients had no fatigue, and 5 had mild/moderate fatigue according to Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy ? Fatigue scale. The results of the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire showed that patients had a high /healthy functional level, a good quality of life and a low level of symptoms. Analysis by treatment subgroups and by treatment-line subgroups did not show statistically significant differences in adherence or quality of life. Conclusions Patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and treated with oral antineoplastic therapies showed a high adherence rate and referred a good quality of life
