Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows socioeconomic factors and employment influence quality of life in gastrointestinal cancer patients, suggesting enhanced patient support is needed.

Key Points

  • Quality of life among gastrointestinal cancer patients is significantly influenced by socioeconomic factors and employment status.
  • Full-time employed patients reported a mean quality of life score of 84.9, compared to 68.4 for unemployed individuals.
  • A cross-sectional study at three tertiary hospitals analyzed factors affecting quality of life using EORTC QLQ-C30 and multivariable regression.
  • This highlights the need for targeted support programs and financial counseling to improve outcomes for high-risk populations.
