Impact of minimal invasive surgery techniques on long-term health-related quality of life in rectal cancer: a Dutch cohort study
This is the first study comparing long-term HRQoL between CL and RAL surgery for rectal cancer. Although several statistically significant differences were found, no clinically relevant differences were observed except for a small difference in the subdomain fatigue of the EORTC QLQ-C30 favoring CL surgery. Furthermore, the current study underlines the relevance of a pre-operative HRQoL assessment.
