What this trial studies
This observational study assesses the quality of life and perceived social support of patients diagnosed with rectal cancer and right-sided colon cancer before and after laparoscopic surgery. It aims to understand how factors such as tumor size, cancer stage, and treatment type influence these outcomes. The study will utilize multidimensional assessments to evaluate support from significant others, family, and friends. Conducted at the General Surgery Clinical Department of the John Grande Hospital, it focuses on the experiences of patients undergoing this specific surgical intervention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients with a clinical diagnosis of rectal cancer or right colon cancer who are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing traditional surgical methods for colorectal cancer will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into improving the quality of life and social support for colorectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored quality of life in cancer patients, this specific focus on laparoscopic surgery and social support is relatively novel.
