Change in Quality of Life in Patients with Advanced Rectal Cancer Between 2010 and 2022
An improvement in therapy in terms of a reduction in side effects and, thus, an improvement in quality of life over time could not be proven. The deterioration in individual scores over time does not appear to be a problem specific to rectal cancer patients, but rather, is associated with social developments or systemic healthcare factors in German society that are not directly related to oncological diseases.
