| Abstract [eng] |
Colorectal cancer is one of the most burdensome cancers in the Western world due to its high incidence, significant mortality, and increasing survivorship. About 1.4 million people are diagnosed with new cases of colorectal cancer worldwide every year. The emergence of new treatment options for colorectal cancer result in better outcomes, as well as increases the quality of life of the patients. Quality of life not only refers to patient-centered outcomes of cancer treatment but is also related to overall survival and is a good indicator of treatment quality. The dissertation analyses the results of quality of life in the late postoperative period and the survival results of patients with colon and rectal tumors. The study identified factors influencing patients' quality of life in the late postoperative period. The dissertation also analyzes the long–term functional results after transanal endoscopic microsurgery for rectal tumors. |
