Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • General Quality of life

    The instrument QLQ-C30 is developed by the EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) and measures quality of life. The instrument has a four-point Likert scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit 4=very much). The QLQ-C30 is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status/QoL scale, and six single items. All of the scales and single-item measures in score from 0-100. A high scale score represents a higher response level. A high score for functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning. A high score for global health status/QoL represents a high QoL. A high score for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology/problems.

    Instrument will be answered by the patient at baseline (at treatment decision)

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

Patients over 18 years of age with esophageal or gastric cancer, who are living in Southern Sweden, and who are planned to undergo curative surgery treatment at Skåne University Hospital. n=100 (anticipated)

Other: evidence-based individualized rehabilitation

Historical control group

The historical control group consists of patients, living in Southern Sweden, who underwent esophageal or gastric cancer surgery between 2013 - 2021 at Skåne University Hospital. n=100 (anticipated)

Interventions

The experimental group will receive structured individualized assessment based on physical, psychological or social needs and will be offered evidence-based interventions to promote rehabilitation and recovery.
