Health-related quality of life after robotic surgery for endometrial cancer: a prospective longitudinal one-year follow-up study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to explore how patients treated for endometrial cancer (EC) with robotic surgery are affected in symptoms of anxiety and depression and HRQoL in the long term.

Methods

Women scheduled for primary robotic surgery for EC were included (n = 64), in this single-center study. Socioeconomic variables were obtained at baseline. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancers Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30), its module for EC (EN24), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-9) were followed prospectively from baseline to 2 weeks, 3 months and 1 year postoperatively.

Results

The number of patients scoring above the clinical threshold for anxiety decreased
