Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Upper GI Malignancies
Upper gastrointestinal (GI) conditions vastly affect each individual’s physical, social, and emotional status. The decision-making process by the medical personnel about these patients is currently based on a patient’s life quality evaluation scale, HRQL scales. By utilizing HRQL scales, a better un...

description | Upper gastrointestinal (GI) conditions vastly affect each individual’s physical, social, and emotional status. The decision-making process by the medical personnel about these patients is currently based on a patient’s life quality evaluation scale, HRQL scales. By utilizing HRQL scales, a better understanding of the various surgical and non-surgical treatment options, as well as their long-term consequences, can be achieved. In our study, an organ-based approach is used in an attempt to examine and characterized the effect of upper GI surgery on HRQL. Therefore, HRQL scales’ function as a prognostic tool is useful, and the need for future research, the creation of valid training programs, and modern guidelines is highlighted. |
