[Methodology of quality of life assessment with EORTC questionnaires of operated for rectum carcinoma patients. Prognostic factors].

ABSTRACT

The integral psychometric term quality of life illustrates the subjective sensation of the received results. The instruments developed by EORTC contribute to its dynamic objectification and optimization, by applying the adequate practice. For patients with rectal carcinoma this marker is expected to have a prediction value, like other markers that determine the progress of the disease.
