Over 40 Years

AbstractQuality of life assessment as part of clinical practice in head and neck oncology began over 40 years ago. Early studies were narrative and cross-sectional; these were followed, at first, by simple quantitative measures of various parameters and later by longitudinal studies of greatercomplexity. More recently quality of life has been employed in a randomized clinical trial of head and neck cancer.Quality of life has evolved to become a standard means of assessing clinical outcomes, and an accepted end point measurement in clinical trials, to be considered alongside survivorship and side effects/complications.

The Mean

e17519 Background: NACT (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) is one of the treatment options in advanced head and neck cancer (H&N cancer); however there is limited quality of life data available in these patients. Methods: Between August 2013- April 2014, 90 technically unresectable H&N cancer patients who were underwent NACT at our centre were selected for this analysis. EORTC QLQ-C30 and HN35 version 3.0 was used for quality of life assessment at baseline and after 02 cycles of NACT. PFS and OS was estimated by Kaplan Meier method. The mean change in QOL at various domains was calculated with 95% CI. The relationship between change in QOL domain and OS was analysed. Results: The median age of the cohort was 45 years (Range 21-65 years). The predominant subsite was oral cavity, in 62 patients (68.9%).The median PFS and OS was 10.53 months (95%CI 8.1-13.0) and 20.8 months (95%CI 15.1-26.5). The mean scores for all domains of QOL are shown in table 1. Conclusions: NACT leads to improvement in QOL in patients treated with head and neck cancers and its has impact on OS.[Table: see text]

Patient Concerns

AbstractThis is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. It identifies the current evidence base and role of health-related quality of life assessment for this group of patients.Recommendations• Health-related quality of life is integral to treatment planning, refining treatment protocols, and more personalised follow-up support. (G)• Health-related quality of life and patient concerns should be regularly assessed during patient care. (G)• Health-related quality of life assessment and patient concerns on an individual patient basis can be helpful to trigger multi-professional support and interventions. (G)
