The quality of life of rectal cancer survivors represents a critical outcome, influenced not only by the well-characterized cluster of bowel dysfunctions known as Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS), but also by a range of non-bowel symptoms, including urogenital, psychological, and social impairments. This presentation aims to review the multidimensional impact of rectal cancer treatment on survivorship and to discuss strategies for optimizing quality of life in this growing patient population.
