Abstract

Purpose

To identify core symptoms in patients with colorectal cancer and investigate how these symptoms correlate with functional status and quality of life (QoL).

Methods

This study included patients over 18 years of age who underwent therapeutic surgery for colorectal cancer with or without a stoma. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ C30) and Colorectal Cancer Module (EORTC-QLQ CR29) were used. Data analysis involved constructing networks using the qgraph package in R, identifying core symptoms based on strength centrality, and assessing centrality stability using the bootnet package.

Results

The study included 511 patients: 321 without a stoma and 190 with a stoma. The QoL score for both groups were 55.06 and 55.09, showing no significant difference (p= 0.991). Fatigue and pain are common core symptoms in colorectal cancer surgery patients, whereas appetite loss (rs = 0.37) is specific to those without a stoma and body image concerns (rs = 1.06) are central issues for stoma patients. Notably, despite its prevalence and severity, anxiety was not a core symptom in either group of patients. In the QoL network, emotional functioning served as an intermediary link between QoL and core symptoms in patients without a stoma, whereas QoL was directly associated with core symptoms in patients with a stoma.

Conclusion

Improving quality of life requires distinct clinical pathways depending on whether the patient has a stoma, necessitating individualized symptom management strategies in the early postoperative period.
