| Abstract: | Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and radical gastrectomy is an integral component of curative therapy. With improvements in perioperative morbidity and mortality, attention has turned to short- and long-term post-gastrectomy quality of life (QoL). This article reviews the common psychometric surveys and preference-based measures used among patients following gastrectomy. It also provides an overview of studies that address associations between surgical decision-making and postoperative health-related QoL. Further attention is focused on reported associations between technical aspects of the operation, such as extent of gastric resection, minimally-invasive approach, pouch-based conduits, enteric reconstruction, and postoperative QoL. While there are several randomized studies that include QoL outcomes, much remains to be explored. The relationship between symptom profiles and preference-based measures of health state utility is an area in need of further research. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. |
