Finding the best talent, and keeping them motivated and productive, are essential elements in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage. The capacity of an event enterprise to consistently stage successful events, and consistently provide attendees with positive and memorable experiences, is generally a reflection of the quality of their employees and volunteers. Over the longer term, concerted efforts to acquire and motivate the best talent available can lead to greater levels of organisational creativity and innovation, as well as long term survival in a dynamic, turbulent, and uncertain industry environment. Furthermore, a talented and productive workforce is generally one in which individual employees and volunteers can thrive and grow, promoting empowerment and well-being.

Background. Studies have shown an association between baseline quality of life (Qol) and survival in advanced cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate their predictive value in long term survival after elective colorectal cancer resection.Methods. A consecutive series of patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery for nonmetastatic disease were recruited in 2003/04. Patients completed standardized quality of life questionnaires (HADS, FACTC, MRS, and PANAS) prior to and 6 weeks after surgery. Univariate (log-rank test) and multivariate analyses (Cox proportional hazards) were performed to predict long term survival.Results. Ninety-seven patients met the inclusion criteria. Sixty-five (67%) were male and the median age of the group was 70 years. Forty-six (47.5%) patients had died and the mean survival was 1,741 days (median 2159, range 9–2923 days). Preoperative mood rating scale and functional assessment of cancer therapy-colorectal FACT C emotional well-being and postoperative FACT C additional concerns were independent predictors of long term survival.Conclusion. Incorporating psychosocial measures in preoperative assessment of cancer patients could help to identify patients who require assessment with a view to implementing psychosocial interventions. These active interventions to maximize mood and well-being should form an integral part of multidisciplinary treatment in these patients.

Dismal Prognosis

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) most commonly affects the head of the pancreas. This condition has a dismal prognosis. Patients with early disease may be candidates for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This is a high-risk operation which is associated with considerable morbidity. Whilst perioperative mortality rates have fallen in recent times, the risk remains significant and long-term survival is poor, even in those who make an uncomplicated recovery. Furthermore, PD is known to affect quality of life (QoL) negatively. Most studies suggest it takes up to six months before a patient’s QoL returns to baseline. This is a considerable amount of time for a patient who is unlikely to achieve long-term survival. This short review discusses the recent literature surrounding mortality rates, long-term survival and QoL following PD for PDAC. A comprehensive understanding of these topics will allow clinicians and patients to consider the risks and benefits before surgical resection is considered.
