Background: Evidence suggests that baseline quality of life (QOL) scores are independently prognostic for survival in patients with cancer, but the role of QOL data in predicting short-term outcome after surgery is uncertain. This study assessed the... Read More about Association between quality of life scores and short-term outcome after surgery for cancer of the oesophagus or gastric cardia.
