PurposeThis study investigated the impact of surgical treatment on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Japanese patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).MethodsThis three-institution cohort study included 106 Japanese patients with CRC (69 men; mean age: 62.6 ± 12.4 years; age range = 30–85 years). HRQOL was evaluated using the Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey version 2 one to two days prior to surgery (baseline) and four weeks after surgery. Clinical characteristics, social characteristics, and HRQOL at baseline were investigated.ResultsPhysical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and social functioning decreased significantly at four weeks after surgery compared with baseline, whereas mental health significantly improved. Physical functioning and general health perception showed an especially strong relation with the six-minute walk test (6MWT) at four weeks after surgery and HRQOL scores at baseline. The cutoff value for the 6MWT for clinically relevant improvement was 552.5 meters for physical functioning (area under curve [AUC] = 0.780, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.692–0.867) and 480.3 meters for general health perception (AUC = 0.721, 95% CI = 0.626–0.817).ConclusionPatients with CRC could potentially improve their postoperative HRQOL by increasing their walking capacity post-surgery, and they may need follow-up interventions after discharge such as physical rehabilitation to do so. The results provide a potential pathway for improving HRQOL of Japanese patients with CRC.
