The perceived impact of length of the diagnostic pathway Is associated with health-related quality of life of Sarcoma survivors:Results from the Dutch nationwide SURVSARC study

Background: Sarcoma patients often experience a long time to diagnosis, known as the total interval. This interval can be divided into the patient (time from symptoms to doctor consultation) and diagnostic intervals (time from first consultation to diagnosis). In other cancers, a long total interval has been associated with worse outcomes, but its effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has never been investigated among sarcoma patients.
