Q&A: Examining the quality of life after esophageal and gastric cancer treatment

On May 29, Kenneth Färnqvist will defend his thesis "The architecture of survivorship: patterns of quality of life, symptom dynamics, and self-care in esophageal and gastric cancer" in which he has investigated how quality of life, symptoms, and self-care develop over time.
