The Inland Northwest Colon Cancer Survivor's Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Colon Cancer

In brief

The overall purpose of this study was to address the following questions by describing the trajectory of early survivorship in individuals who undergo both surgical and medical management of colon cancer. What are the changes in quality of life, demands of illness, sexual function, and peripheral neuropathy, following curative resection during the first year of treatment and recovery? Is there an interaction between exposures to chemotherapy and changes over time in these outcomes?
