“…This is also confirmed by the International Oncological Committee, which claims that the trend of incidence of gynecological malignancies among young women (20-44 years of age) is increasing systematically [5]. Although PFD and LUTS are common among oncological patients, both still remain underestimated and not properly expostulated by patients and health care providers [6,7]. Moreover, both LUTS and PFD are associated with lower QoL, worse psycho-social functioning and emotional problems [8][9][10].…”

It has been widely underlined that both gynaecological malignancies and urogynaecological disorders are often associated with high stress and have a negative impact on the quality of life and psychological well-being of women affected. Knowledge of the pelvic anatomy is crucial in recommending and carrying out the least harmful although successful treatment. Subsequent chemoradiation may also induce or exaggerate troublesome symptoms. The aim of the study was to establish the frequency of urogynaecological symptoms (stress urinary incontinence, urgency, pelvic organ prolapse) and to assess the impact of surgical treatment and additional oncological therapy: pelvic radiation, chemoradiation, chemotherapy, on the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFD) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients suffering from gynecological malignancies. The study group consisted of 160 women, diagnosed with gynaecological malignancy, who underwent surgical treatment and additional adjuvant treatment as necessary. To establish the QoL and prevalence of PFD Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire 7 (II-Q7), King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and the SF-36 Questionnaire were used. Herein, 69 patients reported urinary incontinence (UI) and 67 reported symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). After the six months follow-up UI was found in 78 patients, 25 patients showed de novo symptoms, 65 patients reported POP and 10 patients demonstrated de novo POP. Our data show that urogynaecological symptoms are not correlated with the type of malignancy, but with the extensiveness of surgery.

“…9 These and other health-related factors may be of particular relevance for cancer survivors given the fact that many long-term survivors continue to experience illness or treatment related symptoms and functional difficulties. 8,10 Education that has been shown to be linked to both health and life satisfaction 11 is a potential important covariate.…”

“…A broad range of factors has been viewed as important predictors of life satisfaction such as health perceptions, illness‐related stress, disability, and pain . These and other health‐related factors may be of particular relevance for cancer survivors given the fact that many long‐term survivors continue to experience illness or treatment related symptoms and functional difficulties . Education that has been shown to be linked to both health and life satisfaction is a potential important covariate.…”

“…Additionally, aspects of mental health have also been found to be important correlates of life satisfaction such as depression and loneliness as well as family strain and lifetime trauma . Importantly, nearly all of the predictors of life satisfaction in later life listed above have been identified as important predictors of distress among cancer survivors …”

Objective This paper proposes and evaluates a model of the relative importance that cancer‐related health factor along with other health factors have for the self‐rated health and life satisfaction of older adult, long‐term cancer survivors. The data are examined in the context of important racial differences in health and life satisfaction along with other covariates including gender and education. Method This research utilizes regression‐based path analysis to examine data from a sample of 321 older (age 60+), long‐term (5+ years since diagnosis) cancer survivors. Respondents were randomly selected from the tumor registry of a major university hospital cancer center from among those with breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer. Blacks were oversampled to provide the analytic power to make racial comparisons among cancer survivors. Results Bivariate analysis indicates that there is a consistent pattern of Black/White differences in both cancer‐related and general health characteristics as well as life satisfaction among older cancer survivors. Moreover, the results suggest that race is an important predictor of older survivors' health characteristics. These, in turn, explain significant variance in both self‐rated health and life satisfaction, that is, attributed to Black/White differences in these predictors. Conclusions Clinical health and social service providers need to be aware of the importance of both general health and cancer‐related health factors when working with minority long‐term cancer survivors as these have implications for their overall quality of life.

“…12,13 The negative impact of cancer treatment-related morbidity is identifiable across many different types of cancers, [14][15][16][17] impacting multiple body systems [18][19][20][21][22] and domains of function, [23][24][25][26][27] and spans the trajectory of the individuals' lifespan during and after active medical treatments. [28][29][30][31] Rehabilitation and exercise interventions reduce the negative impact of treatment-related symptoms and improve function of individuals living with and beyond cancer. [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Despite growing evidence and recommendations for better integration of rehabilitation into oncology care, [43][44][45][46] rehabilitation is a relatively underutilized service.…”

Guidelines promote high quality cancer care. Rehabilitation recommendations in oncology guidelines have not been characterized and may provide insight to improve integration of rehabilitation into oncology care. This report was developed as a part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Rehabilitation 2030 initiative to identify rehabilitation-specific recommendations in guidelines for oncology care. A systematic review of guidelines was conducted. Only guidelines published in English, for adults with cancer, providing recommendations for rehabilitation referral and assessment or interventions between 2009 and 2019 were included. 13840 articles were identified. After duplicates and applied filters, 4897 articles were screened. 69 guidelines were identified with rehabilitation-specific recommendations. Thirtyseven of the 69 guidelines endorsed referral to rehabilitation services but provided no specific recommendations regarding assessment or interventions. Thirty-two of the 69 guidelines met the full inclusion criteria and were assessed using the AGREE II tool. Twenty-one of these guidelines achieved an AGREE II quality score of ≥ 45 and were fully extracted. Guidelines exclusive to pharmacologic interventions and complementary and alternative interventions were excluded. Findings identify guidelines that recommend rehabilitation services across many cancer types and for various consequences of cancer treatment signifying that rehabilitation is a recognized component of oncology care. However, these findings are at odds with clinical reports of low rehabilitation utilization rates suggesting that guideline recommendations may be overlooked. Considering that functional morbidity negatively affects a majority of cancer survivors, improving guideline concordant rehabilitative care could have substantial impact on function and quality of life among cancer survivors.
