“…Comparing to the control group, we found that the mean scores of the eight functional domains and summary components of the SF were lower for patients, being statistically significant in the Role Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health in our study. These findings contrast with those found in other studies [ 10 - 13 ] where some domains as General Health or Vitality were better in the patients than the reference group. These disagreements could be explained because of using population norms rather than a control group or doing the evaluations at a different period after the treatment.…”

“…Relevant studies in homogeneous samples of oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients have been inconclusive. Some found that patients had lower scores (worse HRQoL) [ 8 , 9 ] and others found similar scores or even higher scores (better HRQoL) [ 10 - 13 ] compared to reference values. Moreover, most studies compared the results with population norms and only one, focused on physiological problems, used a control group [ 11 ].…”

BackgroundHealth-related quality of life (HRQoL) is gaining importance as a valuable outcome measure in oral cancer area. The aim of this study was to assess the general and oral HRQoL of oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients 6 or more months after treatment and compare them with a population free from this disease.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out with patients treated for oral cancer at least 6 months post-treatment and a gender and age group matched control group. HRQoL was measured with the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12); oral HRQoL (OHRQoL) was evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP). Multivariable regression models assessed the association between the outcomes (SF-12, OHIP-14 and OIDP) and the exposure (patients versus controls), adjusting for sex, age, social class, functional tooth units and presence of illness.ResultsFor patients (n = 142) and controls (n = 142), 64.1% were males. The mean age was 65.2 (standard deviation (sd): 12.9) years in patients and 67.5 (sd: 13.7) years in controls. Patients had worse SF-12 Physical Component Summary scores than controls even in fully the adjusted model [β-coefficient = −0.11 (95% CI: −5.12-(−0.16)]. The differences in SF-12 Mental Component Summary were not statistically significant. Regarding OHRQoL patients had 11.63 (95% CI: 6.77-20.01) higher odds for the OHIP-14 and 21.26 (95% CI: 11.54-39.13) higher odds for OIDP of being in a worse category of OHRQoL compared to controls in the fully adjusted model.ConclusionAt least 6 months after treatment, oral cancer patients had worse OHRQoL, worse physical HRQoL and similar psychological HRQoL than the general population.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12955-014-0201-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Second, we also acknowledge that the patients treated with cancer may not be suitable for determining critical time periods for evaluation of quality of life because of the heterogeneity. 23 Our result of the current study supports the hypothesis that nutritional status is a strong predictor of QoL in cancer patients. It also supports an approach to cancer treatment that takes all aspects of the patient's life into account.…”

They are also associated with economic, social and psychological impacts that impinge on oral function, appearance, and social interactions, leading to the disruption of the daily routines. 3Quality of life is multidimensional and it is based mainly on the individual functional health status, level of pain, self-attribution, self-perception and quality of interaction ABSTRACT Background: The modern day oral oncotherapy is now concerned on the oral quality of life after treatment of the patient. There is need to evaluate final outcome following the different combination of treatment modalities available to make better therapeutic treatment decisions. Oral health-related quality of life (QHRQOL) and their nutritional status is gaining importance as a valuable outcome measure in oral cancer area and compare with the other control group. The aim of the study was to examine the nutritional status among the oral cancer patients and compare the QHRQoL of two groups (i.e., oral cancer group and control group) in Varanasi district. Methods: The prospective study was conducted from January 2018 to August 2018. 124 oral cancer patients and 124 control people from the Varanasi district participated in this study. Nutritional status of oral cancer treated patients was assessed. QHRQoL of the oral cancer patients were compared with the control group. Results: Among the 124 oral cancer patient, 67.74% were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Patients had worse QHRQoL among oral cancer group. There were highly statistically significant differences found in the oral health impact profile and oral impacts on daily performances on comparing the oral cancer patients with the control group. Conclusions: This study indicated that oral cancer patients with malnutrition or risk of malnutrition have significantly worse OHRQoL than with the control population group.

“…In fact, just 34,4% in group 2 and 53.1% in group 3 would consent to further RT/CMT if necessary during the follow up. [39] Herce-Lopez et al [40] elaborated a cross-sectional study including 60 patients treated for a head and neck cancer who survived over 5 years without recurrences. In this case, patients filled out the SF-36 questionnaire, which include 8 categories: physical functioning, role-physical, role-emotional, vitality, mental health, social function, pain and the social dimension.…”

“…The impact of surgical reconstruction showed that patients who underwent complex reconstruction referred worse social functioning and pain, whereas patients who did not receive this kind of surgical procedure they referred a better general health status unless worst role-physical, role-emotional, social functioning and pain. [40] Follow up length is still a controversial aspect, because every author obtained results according a short follow-up period. Nevertheless, Rogers et al [41] determined no differences respecting the QOL between patients after 1 year of treatment or 5 years.…”

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world with a close relation with some risk factor like, tobacco, alcohol consumption and more recently, with human papilloma virus infection. A review of the literature about actual prognosis and quality of life in HNSCC has been done analysing the results of surgical treatment and their impact on the quality of life of patients. Despite the elevated incidence of HNSCC, the survival rate has increased considerably over the last years thanks to the development of new surgical techniques, such as, microvascular reconstruction or transoral robotic surgery and the most accurate adjuvant radiochemotherapy. Even in bad prognosis cases, there are many options to take into account not only with curative expectation, even, keeping in mind the preservation of the quality of life of patients. Due to the improvement of the prognosis, the interest of surgeons has been focused on preserve the aesthetics, functional and psychosocial aspect of patients without a worsening of the main objective which is the curative result. Although prognosis of HNSCC has improved, further studies are necessary to understand the behaviour in every case and determine how the impact on the quality of life can be a useful tool to individualize the therapies.
