Quality of life and the negative impact of comorbidities in long-term colorectal cancer survivors: a population-based comparison

ConclusionsQuality of life among long-term CRC survivors is similar to control subjects, with the exception of worse CRC-specific QoL measures. Higher comorbidity indices were independently associated with poor QoL for both cases and controls.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsSurvivors and healthcare providers should be aware that long-term QoL is comparable to the general population; however, there is potential that digestive tract-specific issues may persist.
