Dietary patterns and health-related quality of life in bladder cancer survivors

Society and medicine are placing an increasing emphasis on cancer survivorship [1]. As the population continues to age and cancer treatment evolves, the number of cancer survivors is expected to increase. Greater numbers will then be faced with the physical and psychosocial challenges of recovering from cancer and its treatment [2,3]. This population is already known to have elevated risks of mortality and chronic health conditions [4]. Thus, it is important to align our goals of increased overall and cancer-specific survival with concomitant efforts to improve and optimize quality of life.
