Quality of life after esophageal resection

Esophageal resection is the primary treatment for malignant esophageal disease and the last resort for benign end-stage esophageal disease.

The aim of this study was to examine the patient reported QoL after esophageal resection using questionnaires focusing on general well-being and esophageal-specific symptoms
