The quality of life trajectory of resected gastric cancer.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Few studies describe quality of life (QoL) outcomes following gastrectomy for gastric cancer using a validated instrument. The gastric cancer module for the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy system of QoL measurement tools (FACT-Ga) was utilized to determine the changes in QoL following gastrectomy, and during the disease course. METHODS:In 43 patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer, outcome such as complications, recurrence, and survival were annotated. Karnofsky performance status (KPS) and QoL were determined preoperatively and at each follow-up visit. RESULTS:Nineteen (44%) patients and 24 (56%) patients underwent partial gastrectomy (PG) and total gastrectomy (TG), respectively. Complications occurred in 30%, and one mortality (2.3%) occurred. Median survival was 23 months. KPS, FACT-G, and FACT-Ga scores all decreased after surgery, and normalized by 6 months. There was no significant difference in QoL in patients who had a PG or TG, although the type of gastrectomy did affect KPS. QoL dropped on average 4.4 ± 3.6 months prior to death. CONCLUSIONS:Surgery adversely affects QoL for up to 6 months. Thereafter, QoL mirrors changes in disease status. More studies are required to document the QoL cost-benefit ratio in gastric cancer, which often is accompanied by short survival benefits.
