Introduction Colorectal cancer is a chronic condition that affects a substantial proportion of the global population. Ensuring a satisfactory quality of life (QoL) for these patients is, therefore, of critical importance. Objective To examine the relationship between sociodemographic, economic, lifestyle, and health-related variables and quality of life in patients with colorectal cancer receiving treatment at a leading health institution in Medellín, Colombia. Methods This cross-sectional study included all patients aged 18 years and older who were diagnosed with colorectal cancer and treated at the VIDA Clinic Foundation in 2022. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted to characterize the population and explore factors associated with QoL, as assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal (FACT-C) scale. The Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied to compare median values across variables. A Generalized Linear Model (GLM) with a Gamma family distribution and identity link function was used to identify explanatory variables influencing QoL. Regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results A total of 126 patients with colorectal cancer were evaluated, of whom 60.3% were women, with a median age of 61.5 years. The regression model identified poor sleep quality, lack of financial support, dissatisfaction with income, and unemployment as significant factors negatively associated with QoL, after adjusting for sociodemographic variables. Conclusion This study provides an initial exploration of health-related QoL in a Colombian population diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The findings highlight the critical influence of both health-related and socioeconomic factors on patients' QoL. A holistic approach to addressing these dimensions could enhance patient care and inform more effective support strategies.

PURPOSE Syrian refugees (SRs) have had difficulties in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of chronic diseases, such as cancer, because of the conflict in the region. The cancer diagnosis and treatment process of SR are also a matter of curiosity. We aimed to compare the demographic characteristics and survival outcome data of SRs and Turkish citizens (TCs), and colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer types seen with similar frequency globally. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 421 patients with CRC were included. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was used for comparison. Patient demographic data were compared using the Pearson Chi-square test and independent t test. RESULTS In total, 421 patients (282 TCs and 139 SRs) were included in this study. The mean age was 52.9 ± 14.3 years for the entire population: 55.3 ± 14.1 years for TCs and 47.9 ± 13.4 years for SRs. Forty (29%) SRs and 60 (21.4%) TCs had de novo metastatic disease ( P = .08). The median OS in the general population was 57.9 months (95% CI, 40.1 to 75.7), whereas it was 80.9 months (95% CI, 56.5 to 97.2) in TCs and 42.2 months in SRs (95% CI, 27.0 to 57.4; P = .006). In the nonmetastatic group, the median OS did not reach (NR) in TCs, and it was 52.6 months (95% CI, 43.7 to 61.5) in SRs ( P = .02). In the metastatic group, the median OS was 21 months (95% CI, 8.5 to 29.2) in TCs, and it was 18.9 months in SRs (95% CI, 16.3 to 25.7; P = .93). CONCLUSION The survival rate was lower in the SR group. Since CRC is also common among refugees, developing and implementing methods to improve the welfare of vulnerable populations is necessary.
