Quality of Life Before and After Radiotherapy in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
A Pilot Investigation of the Quality of Life Before and After Radiotherapy in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 May 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Worldwide, head and neck cancers (HNCs) are widespread (650,000 cases per year) and cause more than 330,000 deaths per year. Almost all cases, about 90%, are cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, and larynx. In conventional clinical practice, HNCs are treated primarily with radiation therapy (RT), often used in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy. Like most anti-neoplastic therapies, RT carries significant adverse effects both acute and chronic. Both types of adverse effects have a significant impact on quality of life (QoL). The aim of the study is to examine the worsening of QoL in patients with HNC before and after cancer therapy and to assess the extent that each factor has in its worsening.
