Prospective Evaluation of the Influence of Chemoradiotherapy and Stoma on Functional and Symptomatic Outcomes in Rectal Cancer Patients
These findings highlight the complex interplay between treatment toxicity and patient adaptation. The presence of a stoma and other clinical or demographic factors significantly influence patients' experience during therapy. Integrating routine assessment of functional and symptomatic burden into clinical practice could support individualized interventions aimed at maintaining daily functioning and psychological resilience during treatment.
