Abstract:
Esophageal cancer constitutes the sixth leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. Recently, due to the development of minimally invasive techniques and perioperative treatment modality, the 5-year overall survival rate has been improved in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing esophagectomy. Therefore, long-term quality of life (QOL) after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer has attracted more and more attention. In China, unfortunately, the concern of long-term QOL of patients after esophagectomy is absent and few QOL-related clinical trial has been launched. The authors summarize the influencing factors for long-term QOL after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer, so as to raise more concern of long-term QOL of patients after esophagectomy in surgeons and nurses.
