The aim of the study was to describe the incidence of symptoms associated with dumping syndrome and their relationship with health-related quality of life after esophagectomy.</jats:p>                  <jats:p>The study cohort was identified from prospective IRB-approved databases from two high volume esophagectomy centers. Patients that were alive and without evidence of recurrence in April 2018 completed the validated Dumping Symptom Rating Scale and health-related quality of life questionnaires. Compound dumping symptom score was created by combining the individual scores for severity and frequency for each symptom.</jats:p>               </jats:sec>               <jats:sec>                  <jats:title>Results</jats:title>                  <jats:p>In total, 171 patients who underwent esophagectomy 1995-2017 responded to the questionnaires, corresponding to a response rate of 77.0%. Median age was 66 years and median time from operation to survey was 5.5 years. Absent or mild problems in all nine dumping symptoms were reported by 94 (59.5%) patients, 19 (12.0%) patients reported moderate or severe problems in at least three symptoms, the most common being “a need to lie down,” “diarrhea,” and “stomach cramps.” Increasing compound dumping symptom score was associated with significantly decreased functio
