“…Likewise, a recent 10‐year longitudinal study of HRQoL among German colorectal cancer survivors found that survivors reported poorer HRQoL for most measures compared with controls, with disparities in HRQoL worsening over time . Persistent or worsening disparities in HRQoL between short and long‐term colorectal cancer survivors may be due to the unmet continuation of bothersome symptoms and effects such as constipation, diarrhea, pain, fatigue, and dyspnea, and unmet expectations for improvements in treatment‐related outcomes over time . Colorectal cancer patients are often treated with surgical proctectomy resulting in a temporary ostomy.…”

Background Objectives were to compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between breast cancer survivors, prostate cancer survivors (PCS), and colorectal cancer survivors (CCS) to matched controls, stratified by short and long-term survivors, by cancer type, and gender. Methods By using the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, propensity scores matched three controls to adult survivors >1 year past diagnosis (N = 11,964) on age, gender, race/ethnicity, income, insurance status, and region of the USA Chi-square tests and logistic regression models compared HRQoL outcomes (life satisfaction, activity limitations, sleep quality, emotional support, general, physical, and mental health). Results Although all cancer survivors reported worse general health (p < 0.000) and more activity limitations (p < 0.004) than controls, these disparities decreased among long-term survivors. Short-term PCS and male CCS were more likely to report worse outcomes across additional domains of HRQoL than controls, but PCS were 0.61, 0.63, and 0.70 times less likely to report activity limitations, fair/poor general health, and 1–15 bad physical health days in the past month than male CCS. Breast cancer survivors and female CCS were 2.12 and 3.17, 1.58 and 1.86, and 1.49 and 153, respectively, times more likely to report rarely/never receiving needed emotional support, 1–15 bad mental health days in the past month, and not receiving enough sleep 1–15 days in the past month than PCS and male CCS. Conclusions Cancer survivors experience worse HRQoL than similar individuals without a history of cancer and the severity of affected HRQoL domains differ by time since diagnosis, cancer type, and gender.

Outcome after surgical treatment has been based predominantly on objective criteria (biomedical model) and has largely ignored, until recently, the expectations, personal feelings, satisfaction, and quality of life of patients (outcomes model). The importance of this derives from considerations that the viewpoints and priorities of patients may not be the same as those of their surgeons. Furthermore, there is often little correlation between symptom severity and disease severity. Measures of quality of life and patient satisfaction are, thus, important in valid assessment of the results of surgical treatment. Global assessment based on both the biomedical and outcomes models constitutes the ideal. Questionnaires designed to measure both quality life (generic and specific) and patient satisfaction with treatment require careful development and validation by appropriate studies.

“…This demonstrates the importance of QoL to patients following treatment for colorectal malignancy. Stomas are generally perceived poorly by preop-erative patients and individuals in the general population [1], but it is noteworthy that no significant QoL score differences were found between patients with a stoma compared with patients with a low colorectal anastomosis [2], although there may be a degree of patient self-selection in this decision. Conversely, patients were prepared to tolerate the side effects of adjuvant treatment for small improvements in overall survival.…”

Patients' expectations of colorectal surgery for cancer

Abstract: Age, gender and education influence the pre-operative expectations of patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer. In addition to the surgical standard, the care of the individual patient must be given due consideration in the treatment strategy.
