“…Sherman et al (2000) suggested that patients with head and neck cancer use different coping strategies at different stages of the disease and treatments. They noted that the post-treatment period was a stressful phase, both for the patient and his/her family (Sherman & Simonton, 1999;Sherman et al, 2000). Between the few NPC studies conducted in countries in the Far East, He & Liu (2005) reported that the optimistic style was the most detected; Lai et al (2003) investigated distress symptoms, hope and catastrophizing in 115 NPC patients during the radiation therapy and found a low overall score for catastrophizing that varied with a large standard deviation among patients, due to individual differences.…”

“…The impact of cancer diagnosis, and eventual treatments, may cause psychological issues and impairment of patients' quality of life that may continue in time in long-term cancer survivors (Sherman, Simonton, Adams, Vural & Hanna, 2000).…”

“…Although coping strategies can have an important impact on health status, to date only a few studies have investigated this issue in head and neck cancer patients, particularly in the context of NPC (Sherman et al, 2000;He & Liu, 2005;Elani & Allison, 2011;Airoldi et al, 2011). These studies focused on coping strategies and anxious/depressive symptomatology in different phases of treatment, but only a few explored how psychological distress may impact on quality of life and coping strategies (Lue et al, 2008;Elani & Allison, 2011).…”

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the head and neck cancer with the greatest impact on patients' quality of life. The aim of this explorative study is to investigate the psychological distress, coping strategies and quality of life of NPC patients in the post-treatment observation period.Twenty-one patients disease-free for at least two years were assessed with a medical and a psycho-oncological evaluation. Clinically relevant depressive symptoms (CRD) were present in 23.8% of patients and 33.3% reported clinically relevant anxiety symptoms (CRA).Patients with CRD and CRA showed a significantly higher score in the use of hopelessness/helplessness and anxious preoccupation coping strategies and a worse quality of life. Even in the post-treatment period, about a quarter of patients showed CRD and CRA.Results showed that patients with high anxiety or depressive symptoms seem to use dysfunctional coping strategies, such as hopelessness and anxious preoccupation, more than patients with lower levels of anxiety and depression. The use of these styles of coping thus seems to be associated to a higher presence of CRA or CRD symptomatology and to a worse quality of life.

Background:The incorporation of chemotherapy and radiation, either sequentially or concurrently, has been increasingly used for organ preservation in patients with advanced laryngeal cancer. Traditional outcome measures of clinical response such as locoregional control and survival have been similar for patients treated with chemoradiotherapy and those treated with total laryngectomy (TL). The impact of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for laryngeal preservation on the overall quality of life (QOL) of patients has not been clearly evaluated, particularly in direct comparison with TL.Objective: To compare the QOL of patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy with those treated with TL.
