Quality of Life and Survival of Patients With Colorectal Cancer 5 Years After Surgery - Follow-up of the RCT DIQOL

This observational follow-up study of the randomized trial (RCT) DIQOL investigates long-term effects of an intervention with quality of life (QoL) diagnosis and therapy on present QoL, survival, and recurrence-free survival of colorectal cancer survivors more than 5 years after surgery.
Moreover, patients’ experiences with aftercare for colorectal cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic and their recollections of their illness and therapy are examined.
