“…Besides, they also reported that the percentage of nancial di culties of urologic cancer survivors was higher than that in controls(16). Beisland et al demonstrated that long-term survivors after renal cancer treatment had worse scores on fatigue, pain, sleep, nausea and vomiting, constipation and diarrhea than other groups (17). All of these ndings were consistent with ours, making our results more reliable.…”

Background: Distributing propaganda materials is a way of doctor-patient communication. Our study aims to demonstrate its influence on patients' quality of life with newly diagnosed urologic cancer before surgery.Methods: Patients with urologic cancer were retrospectively enrolled from April 2020 to March 2021 in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The propaganda materials were written and published by our center and distributed after admission. The quality of life was assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 version 3.0 on the day of admission and after patients read the materials.Results: A total of 180 patients were included. Most of them were male and with renal cancer. Sleep disturbance (p=0.002), appetite loss (p=0.013), fatigue (p=0.002) and physical function (p=0.006) showed statistically significant improvement after the intervention. In subgroup analysis, the changes of sleep disturbance, fatigue and physical function remained significant among patients with renal cancer. Several items remained significant among younger patients(≤57 years old).Conclusions: Distributing proper propaganda materials could exert significant impacts among patients with urologic cancer. Patients with renal cancer and younger patients might be more likely to benefit from that.

“…KC survivors showed significantly lower physical functioning than that observed in the general population. To date, only two studies [21,22] have compared HRQoL between KC survivors and non-cancer controls and have reported conflicting results: a study performed in the United States [21] using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the RAND-12 questionnaire (vs. the EORTC QLQ-C30 used in our study) showed no significant differences in the HRQoL between the two study groups, and a Norwegian study [22] showed that KC survivors, particularly those undergoing surgery via an open or a flank approach, showed a lower HRQoL including a significantly higher pain score than that observed in the general population [22]. Our study also showed higher pain and dyspnea symptoms among KC survivors (among these, 43.5% [47/108] underwent open surgery).…”

Eleven studies included exclusively LRCCs [16][17][18]20,23,[25][26][27][28][29]31] and 6 LRMs [15,19,21,22,24,30].

Objective: To perform a systematic review assessing the impact of the different management options on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with localized renal masses or renal cell carcinomas (LRM/LRCC). Materials and Methods: Searches covering PubMed, Embase (Ovid), CENTRAL, PsycINFO (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases was conducted for papers published up to 25 April 2021. Methods as per Cochrane Handbook were followed. “Modality” of treatment included radical nephrectomy (RN), nephron-sparing surgery (NSS), thermal ablation (TA), and active surveillance (AS). “Approach” was categorized as open incision and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Risk of bias was assessed by ROBINS-I and Cochrane RoB 2 for observational studies and randomized controlled trials, respectively and certainty of the evidence by GRADE. Results: Sixteen observational studies and 1 randomized controlled trial (2.370 patients) met inclusion criteria. Fifteen different patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) were identified. Heterogeneity prevented quantitative analysis. Generic HRQoL decreases after RN and NSS, recovers within 6 to 12 months, and mostly overlaps with baseline values, irrespective of modality. Cancer-specific HRQoL improve faster after open-NSS than open-RN. The detrimental effect of RN may persist long-term in cross-evaluations. QoL scales significantly decrease after open surgery and MIS during the first weeks but improve faster after MIS. They are similar for both approaches at 1-year. Long-term cancer-specific QoL is similar for MIS and open procedures. Fear of recurrence is lower in older patients and affected by neither modality nor approach. Conclusions: Low quality evidence supports the use of MIS over the open approach when HRQoL is considered in the management of LRMs/LRCCs; data regarding the effect of the treatment modality of the LRM/LRCC show contradictory outcomes.

Health-related quality of life in long-term survivors after renal cancer treatment

Abstract: The results show that RCC patients, and in particular those treated by a flank approach but not those treated by minimal invasive surgery, have a multifacetedly reduced HRQoL compared to a general population cohort.
