Patients who survive rectal cancer often experience bowel problems after surgical resection. This is also called low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), and has a substantial negative impact on the quality of life of patients. Previous research by the research group of Prof. Dr. Eva Pape has shown that patients need more information and support. Nurses can potentially play a major and valuable role in this. During the ESMO 2024 conference, nurse researcher Eva Pape (UZ Gent) presented the results of a study into the support of patients with LARS during a nurse-led consultation.1
