Esophageal cancer is an aggressive and physically and emotionally devastating disease. It has one of the poorest survival rates among all malignant tumors, mainly due to late symptom presentation and early metastatic dissemination. Cure is possible through extensive surgery, typically followed by a long recovery period, affecting general well-being, as well as basic aspects of life, such as eating, drinking and socializing. Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is a multidimensional concept assessing symptoms and functions related to a disease or its treatment from the patient's perspective. HRQL is a fundamental part of treatment in surgical oncology, particularly in esophageal cancer. This review assesses the scientific data regarding some HRQL aspects after esophageal cancer surgery, for example, postoperative recovery time, determinants of postoperative HRQL and long-term HRQL.
