Abstract
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
C
olorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most often diagnosed cancer worldwide and its incidence is still growing. Despite advances in surgery and chemotherapy, many patients suffer from progression of the disease, while others are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease. Nevertheless, efficient multidrug chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy and resection of metastases leads to significant prolongation of patients’ life. One of the main goals of modern oncology care is to ensure the best possible quality of patients’ life (Kvale and Bondevik, 2010).
Various determinants of QoL in CRC had been investigated and the results mainly shown that physical problems linked to symptoms and surgical procedures, such as bowel problems and stoma are the most common.
