- W3199792425 abstract "This study compared the quality of life (QoL) of 265 stage IA2–IIA cervical cancer patients treated with radical surgery alone (group 1: 137 patients) versus those who underwent primary radical surgery followed by radiotherapy (group 2: 128 patients) and identified clinical characteristics that predict the poor quality of life. All participants completed quality of life questionnaires: EORTC QLQ-C30 and CMU cervical cancer QoL. For the EORTC QLQ-C30, the study groups were comparable regarding global health status/QoL scale and summary scores. Group 1 participants had better scores on the physical functioning domain and some symptom scales/items. For the CMU Cervical Cancer QoL, group 1 participants had better scores on gastrointestinal, lymphatic, and sexual/hormonal domains. In multivariable analysis, adjuvant radiation was consistently associated with poor quality of life in most domains. In general, early-stage cervical cancer survivors had a satisfactory quality of life. The clinical significance of the quality of life score differences between the study groups remains debateable.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? For women with early cervical cancer, surgery is the main treatment providing not only a good chance for a cure by total removal of the cancer but also an opportunity to preserve the hormone-producing function of the ovary as well as the flexibility of the vagina. However, radiation treatment may be indicated after surgery in some patients depending on the findings from surgery. Because of the concern about increased complications and decreased long-term quality of life following the combined treatments, some may elect to avoid surgery and receive radiation alone in the first place. In this study, we compared the quality of life of women who had surgery alone to those who had surgery followed by radiation. This information is currently lacking in the medical literature.What do the results of this study add? We found that, in general, women with early cervical cancer had a satisfactory quality of life. For a patient who is surgically fit and chooses to receive primary surgery, if radiation is subsequently required, she could still expect the acceptable long-term quality of life–although slightly less satisfactory than receiving surgery alone but not inferior to those who receive primary radiation treatment.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? These findings will be useful for pre-treatment counselling and posttreatment supportive care. The information regarding disease-related and treatment-induced morbidity should be thoroughly discussed with the patients before and after treatment. Also, the use of questionnaires examining general well-being together with a cancer-specific quality of life is recommended for the systematic evaluation of cancer survivors." @default.
