Unresolved pain interference among colorectal cancer survivors: Implications for patient care and outcomes.
This study describes pain interference (PI) prevalence across the cancer continuum; 2) identifies demographic and clinical factors associated with PI and changes in PI; and 3) examines PI’s relationship with survivors’ job changes. It concluded that almost half of survivors with PI during the initial phase of care had continued PI into posttreatment. Comorbidities, especially cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions, contributed to continued PI.

Quality of well-being outcomes in the National Emphysema Treatment Trial.
The purpose of this article is to report outcomes from the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) using an index that combines quality and quantity of life. Results showed that, compared with maximal medical therapy alone, patients undergoing maximal medical therapy plus lung volume reduction surgery experienced improved health-related quality of life and gained more quality-adjusted life years.
