Survivorship issues in long‐term survivors of locally recurrent rectal cancer: A qualitative study
Participants experienced a wide range of long-term survivorship issues, reflecting the complexity of both LRRC and its treatment. Despite this, most had adapted well. Further work regarding survivorship care in LRRC is required to address the unmet needs and issues highlighted in this study, such as support regarding sexual function.
