Head and neck cancer (HNC) as a disease and its treatment have a distinct impact on all aspects of patients’ Quality Of Life (QOL).
As per Journal of Cancer Therapy, QOL is a multidimensional construct of an individual’s subjective assessment of the impact of an illness or treatment on his/her physical, psychological, social and somatic functioning and general well-being. Thus, QOL has become very important aspect.
Treatment modalities significantly affect the QOL in patients with HNC. The location of the tumor, clinical stage, treatment modality, gender, age and habit of smoking have a major impact on QOL. In India, the use of tobacco-related products remains significant, but additional etiologic factors such as HPV also affect HNC presentation, behavior, and treatment. By Dr. Vijay Haribhakti
