Cancer-related fatigue trajectories up to 5 years after curative treatment for oesophageal cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whether cancer-related fatigue develops differently after curative-intended oesophageal cancer treatment and the related modifiable factors are unclear.

Methods

This population-based and longitudinal cohort included 409 oesophageal cancer patients who underwent curative oesophagectomy in 2013-2020 in Sweden. The main outcome was cancer-related fatigue trajectories with measurements at 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 years postoperatively by validated EORTC QLQ-FA12 questionnaire, and analysed using growth mixture models. Weighted logistic regressions provided odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for underlying sociodemographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcome factors in relation to the identified trajectories.
