Clinical Trial Summary

Investigators propose a retrospective cohort study to examine the impact of radiation therapy on the global pelvic floor function of women who have completed the immediate surveillance period for colorectal cancer

Description:

Primary Objective: To characterize the impact of radiation therapy on the lower urinary and bowel tract symptoms, (featuring urinary incontinence, irritative voiding symptoms, voiding dysfunction, bowel incontinence, and defecatory dysfunction) of female survivors of colorectal cancer 2-5 years after treatment.

Secondary Objectives:

• To characterize sexual dysfunctions present in female colorectal cancer survivors 2-5 years after treatment and to determine the impact of radiation therapy compared to surgical treatment alone.

• To examine the impact of radiation therapy on the sexual function of the partner of female survivors of colorectal cancer treated with radiation treatment.

Primary	Urinary Dysfunction - International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS)	The ICIQ-FLUTS is a 12-item validated, self-administered questionnaire that is derived from the Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (BF-LUTS) questionnaire and designed for use in women and to assess urinary symptoms and effects on quality of life. There are 3 subscales within this instrument to assess incontinence, voiding and filling. Investigators will specifically use the incontinence subscale as the primary outcome. The instrument is based on 5 questions, with possible answers on a 5-point scale (ranging from "never" to "all of the time"). Scoring is 0-48 with higher scores equaling to a greater bother with urinary dysfunction in participants.	Up to 4 months
Secondary	PROMIS® Brief Profile Sexual Function and Satisfaction (Female)	This is a 14-item validated questionnaire that has been validated for use in cancer populations to assess female sexual function. Scoring is 0-100 with lower numbers indicating worse sexual function.	Up to 4 months
Secondary	Bowel Dysfunction - Modified Manchester Health Questionnaire	This is a 31-item patient reported outcome measure that is designed to assess degree and severity of bowel dysfunction and the impact of this dysfunction on quality of life. Scoring is 0-100 with higher scores indicating worse bowel function.	Up to 4 months
Secondary	PROMIS® Brief Profile Sexual Function and Satisfaction- Male or Female Partners	The PROMIS® Brief Profile Sexual Function and Satisfaction is an 11-item validated questionnaire that has been validated in a heterogeneous population to assess partner sexual function. Scoring is 0-100 with lower numbers indicating worse sexual function.	Up to 4 months
Secondary	Dyadic Adjustment Scale-Short Form (DAS-7) Questionnaire - Couple Relationship	This is a 7-item questionnaire to assess the quality of dyadic relationship designed for cohabitating or married couples. Score range is 0-36 with higher scores indicating better function.	Up to 4 months
