Predictors of Skin-Related Quality of Life After Treatment of Cutaneous Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Quality-of-Life Outcomes for Excision and Reconstruction of Periocular Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer

“…Analysis of SCI and FACE-Q questionnaire data revealed that higher PRE QoL scores predicted higher final postoperative QoL, consistent with the findings from other studies 7,8 Advanced age was found to be a predictor of higher postoperative QoL score after surgical reconstruction of periocular NMSC as specifically highlighted by the appearance subscore of the SCI score. The appearance subscore reflects patient's perception of disfigurement, scarring, and self-image, all of which may be potentially less distressing with increasing age.…”

Quality of life in the actinic neoplasia syndrome: The VA Topical Tretinoin Chemoprevention (VATTC) Trial

“…19 In contrast, our results suggest that higher education levels are independently associated with worse symptoms and KC-specific worry/bother items. Our results concur in that being married showed strong association with improved QoL in the symptoms domain, and previous history of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma had no independent effect in any domain.…”

Quality of life in the actinic neoplasia syndrome: The VA Topical Tretinoin Chemoprevention (VATTC) Trial

“…18 A recent study using the Skindex instrument showed independent association of higher education levels, being married, and fewer comorbidities with better QoL; age and previous history of nonmelanoma skin cancer had no effect. 19 In contrast, our results suggest that higher education levels are independently associated with worse symptoms and KC-specific worry/bother items. Our results concur in that being married showed strong association with improved QoL in the symptoms domain, and previous history of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma had no independent effect in any domain.…”
