What this Trial Is About
Researchers are examining physical activity, functional capacity, and health status in adults with colorectal and anal cancer. This study focuses on the impact of these cancers, especially on patients experiencing incontinence. It also involves adapting and validating quality of life questionnaires specific to colorectal and anal cancer, as well as a fecal incontinence severity index, to better understand patient experiences. The study is observational and does not involve any intervention. Participants include adults aged 18 to 80 years diagnosed with colorectal or anal carcinoma. Assessments include administering several questionnaires such as the EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-CR29, EORTC QLQ-AN27, the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and the Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI) to capture various aspects of quality of life, physical activity, and symptom severity. Participants will complete questionnaires at baseline and report on their physical activity over one week. The study collects subjective data to evaluate how these cancers affect quality of life and physical function. The research is sponsored by the University of Pecs and will continue through September 2025, involving patients who meet the age and diagnosis criteria without certain neurological, musculoskeletal, psychiatric, or recent surgical exclusions.
