Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Although progress in the development of new drugs over the last two decades has expanded treatment options for this disease, many significant problems relating to their optimization remain to be solved. Data on the cancer knowledge and the healthy behavior and lifestyle in patients with colorectal cancer in Poland is missing. We analyzed the course and results of treatment of first-line chemotherapy in 165 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer treated between May 2010 and December 2013. The respondent’s knowledge in the field of cancer and their lifestyle before and after the treatment were rated. The results were compared with a control group. Mean age was 60.89 ± 8.69 years, median 59 years. The general knowledge about cancer and the level of healthy lifestyle before treatment were low. After treatment, both the knowledge about cancer and the level of healthy lifestyle increased compared to the control group. There was a clear relationship between the level of knowledge about cancer and the willingness to adopt attitudes and healthy behavior by patients. In our analysis, the overall quality of life in patients treated with first-line palliative chemotherapy of colorectal cancer did not change during treatment. Our results indicate the need to implement an educational program on cancer prevention in treated patients, and the analysis of quality of life and other factors than treatment effect remains controversial.
