Assessment of quality of life in locally advanced carcinoma rectum undergoing total neoadjuvant therapy: An eastern Indian subcontinent prospective study
TNT has become the new standard of care in LARC. This study shows a statistical and clinical improvement in global health status with the improvement in functional status of QOL. There is also a statistically significant decrease in symptom scales, which is corroborated by clinical improvement. TNT improves both the survival and the QOL, thus making it a comprehensive treatment option for LARC.
