“…Patients with total laryngectomy had higher pain scores than partial laryngectomised patients or patients receiving other types of treatment in three studies [66,88,89]. Two studies reported that the combination of surgery and radiotherapy led to more pain in patients when compared to patients treated with surgery or radiotherapy only [62,90]. Other studies described more pain among patients who were treated with chemoradiotherapy when compared to patients who had undergone other treatment methods [54,82].…”

ObjectivesPain is a major symptom in patients with cancer; however information on head and neck cancer related pain is limited. The aim of this review was to investigate the prevalence of pain and associated factors among patients with HNC.Material and MethodsThe systematic review used search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL databases to December 2011. Cancers of the oral mucosa, oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx were included in this review with pain as main outcome. The review was restricted to full research reports of observational studies published in English. A checklist was used to assess the quality of selected studies.ResultsThere were 82 studies included in the review and most of them (84%) were conducted in the past ten years. Studies were relatively small, with a median of 80 patients (IQR 44, 154). The quality of reporting was variable. Most studies (77%) used self-administered quality of life questionnaires, where pain was a component of the overall scale. Only 33 studies reported pain prevalence in HNC patients (combined estimate from meta-analysis before (57%, 95% CI 43% - 70%) and after (42%, 95% CI 33% - 50%) treatment. Only 49 studies (60%) considered associated factors, mostly tumour- or treatment-related.ConclusionsThe study has shown high levels of pain prevalence and some factors associated with higher levels of pain. There is a need for higher quality studies in a priority area for the care of patients with head and neck cancer.

“…The effect of implant‐prosthetic treatment on QoL and oral functions is assumed to be larger in non‐irradiated cancer patients than in irradiated cancer patients, as it was revealed that the scores of items related to the oral sequelae of radiotherapy did not improve after oral rehabilitation. However, QoL at 5‐year follow up showed no significant differences between irradiated and non‐irradiated patients, but it deteriorated between 1 and 5 years after placement of implant‐retained prosthesis due to concurrent comorbidity …”

The current systematic review was performed to assess the functional outcomes of implant-prosthetic treatment on patients who have had surgical resection of oral cavity tumors. The assessment of function, satisfaction, or quality of life (QoL) were the major outcomes that evaluated preoperative and/or before and after implant-prosthetic treatment. Only eight published studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Three publications evaluated chewing ability, masticatory performance, and neuromuscular function, and the other five publications used questionnaire as a method of assessment. These publications mainly reported on implant-prosthetic treatment in mandibulectomy patients. It was found that implant-retained prosthesis had a beneficial effect on masticatory performance and masseter muscle activity on the defect side, but not on the non-defect side. Swallowing threshold performance and jaw movement parameters showed no significant differences between non-implant-retained prosthesis and implant-retained prosthesis. Significant improvement in prosthesis and patients' satisfaction with implant-retained prosthesis compared to non-implant-retained prosthesis was observed. However, general improvement in patients' QoL was not observed after implant-prosthetic treatment. Patients with intraoral resection might benefit from implant-retained prosthesis with regard to masticatory function and satisfaction. However, future clinical trials with an adequate sample size are needed to identify the group of patients who are likely to benefit from the implant-prosthetic treatment modality.

“…Considering the oral effects stemming from radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the physiology of mastication may be directly affected, leading to eating and nutritional disorders and further affecting also taste perception and quality of life of cancer patients . In a recent prospective study, it was demonstrated that oral function 1 year after surgery in patients treated for malignancies in the tongue and/or floor of mouth had significantly deteriorated masticatory performance, bite force and dental state .…”

The aim of this study was to analyse mastication and the sense of taste in 39 patients submitted to cancer treatment in different areas of the body and to compare these variables with those of 44 control individuals within the same age range. The following aspects were assessed: dental status (DMFT); stimulated and non-stimulated salivary flow; sense of taste (salty, sweet, bitter and sour); and masticatory performance (MP), through the calculation of X(50). Logistic regression models were established to test the association between the independent variables and cancer treatment. Cancer patients had lesser stimulated salivary flow, a smaller number of teeth and occlusal units, worse MP, higher salty, sweet and sour taste scores and a lower bitter taste score (P < 0·05). A significant positive correlation was found between MP and the DMFT index in both groups (P < 0·05), meaning that a lower DMFT index value denoted a smaller X(50) value (better masticatory performance). The logistic regression model revealed that patients who had undergone cancer treatment had a greater probability of exhibiting a smaller number of teeth, higher salty and smaller bitter taste scores (P < 0·05). It was concluded that patients who were submitted to cancer treatment presented oral physiology alterations when compared with control subjects at the same age range.

Five‐year follow‐up of oral functioning and quality of life in patients with oral cancer with implant‐retained mandibular overdentures

Abstract: Oral function and denture satisfaction were high and did not change over time for survivors. Deterioration in overall global health and QOL was associated with concurrent comorbidity.
