Anxiety, depression, health-related quality of life, and mortality among colorectal patients: 5-year follow-up.

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measurement represents an important outcome in cancer patients. We describe the evolution of HRQoL over a 5-year period in colorectal cancer patients, identifying predictors of change and how they relate to mortality.
