Patient-reported outcomes as predictors of survival in patients with bowel cancer: a systematic review.
Claudia RutherfordRachel CampbellKate WhiteMadeleine KingPublished in: Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation (2019)
Physical and psychological functioning, pain, fatigue and appetite loss had prognostic significance above and beyond clinical predictors in CRC. Routine monitoring of these PROs may allow earlier detection and amelioration of problems, which may improve quality of life and perhaps extend survival. More research is needed to determine prognostic value of PROs in early-stage CRC, and prognostic significance of changes in PRO scores.
