食管癌术后远期生命质量影响因素的研究进展

Research advances in influencing factors for long-term quality of life after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer

食管癌死亡例数位居全世界肿瘤相关死亡例数第6位。近年来,随着微创手术的广泛应用及围手术期治疗的发展,食管癌患者术后5年生存率大幅提高,其术后远期生命质量日益受到关注和重视。我国对于食管癌术后远期生命质量的关注程度尚不足,相关临床研究开展较少。笔者梳理和总结食管癌术后远期生命质量的影响因素,旨在提高医护人员对食管癌术后远期生命质量的重视。

Esophageal cancer constitutes the sixth leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide.Recently,due to the development of minimally invasive techniques and perioperative treatment modality,the 5-year overall survival rate has been improved in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing esophagectomy.Therefore,long-term quality of life(QOL)after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer has attracted more and more attention.In China,unfortunately,the concern of long-term QOL of patients after esophagectomy is absent and few QOL-related clinical trial has been launched.The authors summarize the influencing factors for long-term QOL after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer,so as to raise more concern of long-term QOL of patients after esophagectomy in surgeons and nurses.
