Abstract
Background: Improved oncologic outcomes in oesophageal cancer have resulted in increased survivorship, and a focus on long-term health-related quality-of-life (HR-QL). Gastrointestinal symptoms are common among patients after oesophagectomy, but data regarding the postoperative trajectory of nutrition-related symptoms and their relation to body weight loss (%BWL) and HR-QL are lacking. This study aimed to characterise the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms and altered appetite, and their impact on postoperative HR-QL in survivorship.
