Longitudinal assessment of quality of life indicators and prognosis in esophageal cancer patients with curative resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between quality of life and survival outcomes in esophageal cancer patients following curative resection is not well established. This study aimed to longitudinally assess quality of life indicators and their association with overall survival (OS) in these patients.

Methods

A total of 232 patients were included in the study, and their quality of life was prospectively assessed at different time points using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 30-item core quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the disease-specific esophageal module (QLQ-OES18).
