Primary outcomes
General Quality of life
The instrument QLQ-C30 is developed by the EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) and measures quality of life. The instrument has a four-point Likert scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit 4=very much). The QLQ-C30 is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status/QoL scale, and six single items. All of the scales and single-item measures in score from 0-100. A high scale score represents a higher response level. A high score for functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning. A high score for global health status/QoL represents a high QoL. A high score for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology/problems.

Secondary outcomes
Esophageal and gastric cancer specific Quality of life
The instrument QLQ-OG25 is developed by the EORTC and measures diagnose specific quality of life. The instrument hast a four-point Likert scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). The scoring approach for this instrument is identical in principle to that used for the scales/items of the EORTC-QLQ-C30.
