“…Our results showed that younger and older patients had almost the same score of the overall QOL and its dimensions except emotional dimension which was lower in younger patients. It in line with the results of other studies which showed the poorer emotional performance of younger patients [9,21] . We found that females generally had poorer QOL than men, the same reported by Li et al [9] but some studies reported the lower social wellbeing score among men, that might be because they used different instrument for assessment of the QOL [21] .…”

Aim:The objective of this study was to examine the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and its correlates among rectal cancer survivors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the northwest of Iran. Rectal cancer survivors were selected from teaching hospitals. HRQOL was estimated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire C30. Information about sociodemographic, lifestyle and clinical features of disease was obtained by trained interviewers. Results: A total of 96 patients were included in this study with mean age of 57.31 ± 14.15 years, 54% were male and 59% over 55 years of age. Women performed poorer than men in many dimensions of HRQOL (P < 0.05). Total score of symptoms was higher in those who had a higher stage of the disease. Participants with insufficient physical activity had a lower score in physical and role dimensions and a higher score of pain and fatigue (P < 0.05). In multiple regression models, treatment, stage of disease, and physical activity were important predictive factors of HRQOL. Conclusion: Some clinico-epidemiological factors were associated with a reduced score of HRQOL and its dimensions in this study. Overall, better performance in the presence of a modifiable factor; physical activity, is an opportunity for interventional strategies to improve the HRQOL.

“…At the time of this study we could not access to surgery profile of the patients, then the information about preserving sphincter was not available, however evidence showed that sphincter-ablating procedures do not necessarily reduce QOL in patients with rectal cancer [21] .…”

“…[5][6][7] Participants in this study endorsed a range of negative physical symptoms, sexual problems, and body concerns. Physical symptoms were often highly prevalent, including urinary frequency, unintentional gas, frequent bowel movements or changes of ostomy bag, and dry mouth; while there was infrequent endorsement of pain symptoms.…”

“…5 Evidence for differences in quality of life among patients by surgery type is mixed. 5,7 Few of these studies measured longitudinal changes in quality of life between treatment completion and early survivorship, and they typically did not include highly comorbid populations, such as U.S. Veterans. 8 These studies have demonstrated improvements in global quality of life over time 4,9 ; however, they have not typically looked at prevalence over time of CRC-specific symptoms, longitudinal differences among domains of CRC-specific quality of life, or the sociodemographic and clinical predictors of these differences.…”

Objective-Less is known about longitudinal changes in quality of life between treatment completion and early survivorship among multimorbid cancer survivors. The current study describes longitudinal changes in quality of life among a multimorbid cohort of US Veterans diagnosed and treated for colorectal cancer.Materials and methods-A sample of 68 multimorbid adults with colon and/or rectal cancer who received one or more treatment options (surgery, chemo or radiation therapy) was recruited. Participants were not excluded by cancer stage unless they reported being in hospice or similar status. Comprehensive assessments of quality of life and treatment side-effects were conducted 6, 12, and 18 months after diagnosis. Descriptive statistics characterized treatment side-effects and changes in quality-of-life domains longitudinally. Multivariate Analysis of Variance identified sociodemographic and clinical variables associated with quality of life changes. Disclosures and Conflict of Interest StatementsThe authors disclose no actual or potential conflicts of interest, including any financial, personal or other relationships with other people or organizations within three years of beginning the submitted work that could influence, or be perceived to influence, their work.

“…In addition, some studies showed that the presence of a stoma also has a major negative impact on the quality of life (Rispoli et al, 2009). However, other studies failed to show a statistically significant difference in the quality of life of patients who had stoma and those who underwent a sphincter-saving resection (Smith-Gagen et al, 2010;Campos-Lobato et al, 2011).…”
