Abstract:
:Curative treatment of esophageal cancer with definitive or preoperative high-dose chemoradiotherapy inflicts a major strain on the patients with potentially severe physical, emotional, and social consequences. The aim of this study was to assess various aspects of quality of life and fatigue in long-term survivors following such a treatment. Patients undergoing a potentially curative treatment between 1996 and 2007, and still alive (n= 41) completed quality of life questionnaires of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer core questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and esophageal cancer module (QLQ-OES18). Twenty patients were treated by surgery alone, and 21 patients were scheduled for high-dose chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery. Five of those patients did not undergo planned surgery. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy consisted of three courses of chemotherapy, cisplatin 100 mg/m(2) and 5-fluorouracil 5000 mg/m(2) in each course and concomitant radiotherapy of a median dose 66 Gy. Quality of life in esophageal cancer patients receiving high-dose chemoradiotherapy was compared with that for esophageal cancer patients who received only surgery, head and neck cancer patients, laryngectomized patients, and a random sample of the general Norwegian population. Esophageal cancer patients treated by high-dose chemoradiotherapy had significantly worse global quality of life as reflected by almost all functional scales and higher fatigue compared with esophageal cancer patients who received surgery alone, head and neck cancer patients, and the general Norwegian population. There were no significant differences in quality of life between the esophageal cancer patients receiving high-dose chemoradiotherapy and the laryngectomy patients. Further, the esophageal cancer patients receiving high-dose chemoradiotherapy had higher intensity of other symptoms like general pain, insomnia, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation compared with the esophageal cancer patients who received surgery alone, head and neck cancer patients, and the general Norwegian population. High-dose chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil had a considerable negative long-term effect on global quality of life in patients with resectable esophageal cancer. Fatigue was a prominent long-lasting symptom in these patients.
