Quality of Life After Radiotherapy for Rectal and Anal Cancer.
Purpose of review: With advances in radiation therapy (RT) techniques for rectal and anal cancers allowing for the modulation of critical normal tissues, there has been an increased emphasis on improving the quality of life (QOL) of cancer survivors. Herein, we review the literature to examine the impact of RT on QOL and patient reported outcomes (PROs) to better inform providers about the challenges of survivorship.
Recent findings: Large systematic reviews, recent studies and long-term follow-up of pivotal clinical trials have shown that RT impacts QOL, particularly fecal continence and sexual function. Modern preoperative RT techniques allow for decreased dose to organs-at-risk will likely improve QOL.
Summary: RT, though critical in the treatment of rectal and anal cancer, has a profound impact on QOL for some patients. Recent studies have included PROs and validated QOL metrics to better inform providers and patients.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of colorectal cancer. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those with the disease. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as current and emerging therapeutic approaches and the molecular basis of disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
