syndrome. Many authors maintain that the quality of the life after surgery is as important as the good oncological and surgical outcome. The
assessment of QOL patients with colorectal cancer is still insufficient. Quality of life is ambiguous, dynamic and variable concept as well. It
has various definitions that depend on profession of person who describe the quality of life. However, all conceptions should be analyzed
by researcher to right assessment the quality of life. The quality of life researches should be source of information’s of life situation has done
by himself. They could prove many valuables information’s of improve ways of work with the patient. That act allow to compare the potential
benefits of care with the disadvantageous effects.
