Association of Sleep Quality and Mental Status With Early Recurrence and Prognosis of Colorectal Cancer

Evidence of evidence-based medicine shows that patients with malignant tumors have heavy psychological pressure after disease, and are prone to different degrees of sleep disorders and mental health problems, which often affect the progression and prognosis of the primary tumor. Previous studies have reported that baseline sleep quality was independently associated with risk of progression, risk of death, and response to treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer before and during chemotherapy. Surgery, as a stressor, often causes obvious psychological stress reactions in patients, resulting in varying degrees of sleep disorders and poor mental performance, which may also become a factor affecting the recurrence and prognosis of patients. Therefore, the Department of Colorectal Surgery, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Fudan University intends to conduct a prospective observational cohort study on the effects of sleep quality and mental state on early postoperative recurrence and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer, in order to explore the effects of sleep quality and mental state on early postoperative recurrence and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.
