Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer surgery can lead to cognitive decline, especially in older patients, but there's no standard way to measure this post-operative issue.
- A scoping review analyzed 49 studies to evaluate how cognitive function was assessed after colorectal cancer surgeries, revealing a variety of tools and inconsistent definitions used across research.
- Most studies indicated some level of cognitive decline post-surgery, with recovery noted over time, but the reported incidence of decline greatly varied, highlighting a lack of uniformity in assessment methods and outcomes.
Background: Total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) increases pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and reduces the risk of systemic recurrences over chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in randomised trials, e.g., the RAPIDO trial.

The first health care encounter is important to enable patients to cope and may ultimately impact QoL. The aim of this study was to describe the patients' experiences of encounters with health care professionals.

Background: Laparoscopic lavage has been studied in 3 randomized controlled trials. Long-term results indicate that additional surgery and a remaining stoma are less common after lavage compared with resection, but data from routine care and larger cohorts are needed to get a more complete picture.
Background: Longitudinal studies on functional outcomes after colon resection are limited.
Objective: To evaluate bowel dysfunction and related distress 1 and 3 years after colon resection using the low anterior resection syndrome score as well as specific validated items.
Design: This study presents the long-term results of bowel dysfunction and related distress based on the Quality of Life in Colon Cancer study, an observational, prospective multicenter study of patients with newly diagnosed colon cancer.
