“…Despite the heterogeneity of the designs, the results/conclusions are on the same line: a decrease in the HRQoL after treatment (14-22), which appears to parallel the magnitude of the tumor (2,4,23-31), and the use of radiotherapy (2,4,5,29,32-40). After a year, this declining trend turns around (15,16,18,20,22,41-47).…”

Treatments used in cancer of the oral cavity have great impact on the physical, psychological and functional state of patients. There has been increasingly interest in evaluating the health-related quality of life using questionnaires among patients treated FOR oral cancer. Up to our knowledge no review on this theme has incorporated the level of evidence of the single identified studies. The objective of the present study is to determinate results and conclusions about the health-related quality of life of these patients, in view of scientific evidence. In general, the diversity of designs, level of evidence and questionnaires used for their assessment does not affect results, which indicate a decline in the health-related quality of life after treatment. This decline is greater when the tumor is large in size, and when radiotherapy is used, though the situation is seen to improve over the span of a year. Questionnaires on health-related quality of life provide concrete information regarding the impact of cancer treatment on patients. Key words:Quality of life, oral cancer, questionnaire.

“…This group includes node‐negative patients with close margins or adverse pathological features at the primary site, and patients with a single positive node without ECS . There is no consensus as to which of these patients will benefit from PORT and the potential for reduced recurrence must be balanced against the significant local toxicity …”

“…12 Certain items were very common and impact across all patients in respect to their cancer treatment. 18 It is important to encourage patients to talk about these items as there are interventions available. It is appropriate to advocate treatments that minimize xerostomia as a side effect, such as the use of IMRT.…”

Background:The aim was to collate and contrast patient concerns from a range of different head and neck cancer follow-up clinics around the world.Also, we sought to explore the relationship, if any, between responses to the patient concerns inventory (PCI) and overall quality of life (QOL). Methods: Nineteen units participated with intention of including 100 patients per site as close to a consecutive series as possible in order to minimize selection bias.Results: There were 2136 patients with a median total number of PCI items selected of 5 (2-10). "Fear of the cancer returning" (39%) and "dry mouth" (37%) were most common. Twenty-five percent (524) reported less than good QOL.Conclusion: There was considerable variation between units in the number of items selected and in overall QOL, even after allowing for case-mix variables.There was a strong progressive association between the number of PCI items and QOL.
