Overview of Liver Spread of Colorectal Cancer

Xiuwei Yang*

Background: The prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rapidly increasing in developed countries, making it the second most common disease in women and the third most common cancer in men. Psychophysical, functional, and social impairment are all related to health-related quality of life declines brought on by cancer and/ or its treatment side effects (QoL).

Description: The most often used CRC-specific QoL questionnaire is the FACT-C. Cancer patients’ quality of life (QoL) is essential to their health, survival, and therapy response. Numerous studies that examined various aspects of the QoL assessment in CRC discovered that symptoms, surgical methods, and the number of comorbidities all significantly impacted QoL.

Conclusion: Various therapies could be used to improve the quality of life of CRC patients, despite the fact that they generally enjoy a good quality of life compared to the general population. The results of this review may be useful to cancer practitioners when deciding on treatments and surveillance measures. Future research should concentrate on large prospective studies using well-validated QoL metrics to facilitate outcomes comparison.
