“…The included studies involved a total of 1849 oral cancer patients of which at least 1308 were male, as one study did not report sex of patients (Vakil et al, 2012 ). Eleven studies only reported mean or median age with SD and did not mention range (Agarwal et al, 2014 ; Bekiroglu et al, 2011 ; Gu et al, 2021 ; Hoene et al, 2021 ; Larson et al, 2021 ; Rogers et al, 2004 ; Rogers & Lowe, 2020 ; Seferin et al, 2022 ; Soares et al, 2018 ; Wu et al, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ). One study did not mention age of patients (Vakil et al, 2012 ) and three studies categorised patients in age groups without further details about mean and SD (Rogers & Lowe, 2020 ; Yue et al, 2018 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ).…”

Introduction Treatment for oral cancer can impair oral functions such as mastication, which may negatively affect quality of life (QoL). In this review, an overview is provided of masticatory ability in patients treated for oral cancer. Methods The PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase and Cochrane databases were systematically searched for scientific literature on masticatory ability in relation to QoL in patients treated for oral cancer. Studies were included when oral cancer treatment was provided, and the University of Washington Quality of Life (UW‐QoL) questionnaire was used. Risk of bias (MINORS) was independently assessed by two authors. Results The PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase and Cochrane search yielded 575 unique records of which 111 were assessed full text, and 27 studies were included. The UW‐QoL mastication scores ranged from 31.9 to 97.4. There was a wide variety in methodology, patient groups, tumour site, treatment and assessment moment, to such a degree that outcome scores are difficult to compare. Conclusion The wide variety in studies exploring health‐related QoL in relation to mastication in oral cancer patients prevents the identification of possible relations between treatment, masticatory ability and QoL. Our findings underline the limitations in currently available literature and indicate the necessity for more comparable research.

“…QOL describes a patient’s overall well-being and is, by definition, multidimensional, as it includes physical, social, and emotional functioning domains from the patient’s point of view [ 7 , 8 ]. Unsurprisingly, surgical treatment of tongue cancer influences a patient’s QOL [ 9 ], including eating, speaking, breathing, and physical appearance.…”

Aim of the study The project assessed the quality of life in post-operative patients with tongue cancer at three-month intervals in the first year after the operation. Material and methods A longitudinal prospective cohort study was conducted in the oral and maxillofacial department of a large public general hospital in northern Greece. Fifty-six patients out of a total of 156 with oral cancer were chosen for the study, who completed distinct quality-of-life surveys (EORTC QLQ-C30, and QLQ Head & Neck Module FACT-G). Results Tumor size correlated negatively with various EORTC QLQ-C30 scores, such as role functioning (p = 0.004) and cognitive functioning (p = 0.007), in the third evaluation. Tumor size correlated positively with subscale problems such as social eating (p = 0.001) and weight loss (p = 0.004) in the QLQ Head & Neck Module. The role functioning subscale (p = 0.003), the pain subscale (p = 0.001), and the speech issues QLQ Head & Neck module subscale (p = 0.003) adversely correlated with cancer stage. Patients who received flap reconstruction significantly differed from those who did not, on the EORTC QLQ-C30 cognitive functioning (U = 139.0, p = 0.006), dyspnea (U = 391.5, p = 0.006), and diarrhea (U = 425.0, p = 0.007) subscales during the third evaluation. Differences were also found in the QLQ-H&N35 subscale of sticky saliva (U = 391.0, p = 0.006). Patients with flap reconstruction did not significantly differ from those with immediate closure after one year. Differences concerned the EORTC QLQ-C30 subscales of cognitive functioning, dyspnea, and diarrhea, and the QLQ Head & Neck Module subscale of sticky saliva on the third assessment. No statistically significant correlations were observed between tumor size and cancer stage in the fourth assessment, but the grade of cancer positively correlated with the EORTC QLQ-C30 subscale of constipation (p = 0.000). Conclusions Our study suggests that quality of life is impaired in patients with tongue cancer who have undergone surgical interventions, particularly within the first month post-operation. However, quality of life is fully restored one year after the surgical excision. Future studies should explore early interventions to help healthcare providers better treat this unique group of patients.
