Secondary Outcomes

The change of quality of life

The change of quality of life is measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) core30 (C30). The quality of life scale is transformed into a score 0 to 100, derived by 4-point Likert scale. A higher score represents a higher level of quality of life.

Time frame: Before surgery(baseline), and 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after surgery

The change of symptom

The change of symptoms is measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) oesophageal cancer module (OES18). The symptom scale is transformed into a score 0 to 100, derived by 4-point Likert scale. A higher score represents a higher level of symptom.

Time frame: Before surgery(baseline), and 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after surgery
