Pelvic exenteration for cervical cancer - Oncologic outcome and long-term health-related quality of life, a mixed methods study

This study investigates the long-term oncologic outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for patients undergoing pelvic exenteration (PE) due to recurrent cervical cancer. The findings reveal that while PE can provide significant survival benefits, patients experience persistent physical and psychosocial challenges, highlighting the need for tailored support and follow-up care. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding both quantitative and qualitative aspects of survivorship to improve patient outcomes.
