welcomes you to the new, improved website!This study aimed to measure the quality of life (QOL) as reported by patients after esophagectomy, a procedure which has a high rate of mortality. Researchers found that the one hundred and three patients in the study had declining QOL immediately following the procedure, which slowly rose back to baseline QOL in a one hundred day period, affirming important information for future esophagectomy patients.
