Abstract
OBJECTIVES To comprehensively explore the effect of several sociodemographic-, patient- and tumour-related factors on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients. METHODOLOGY Patients diagnosed with oral and oropharyngeal cancers were included in the present cross-sectional study. Information pertaining to various sociodemographic-, patient- and tumour-related factors was recorded. HRQoL was assessed using standard 12-item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF12V2), and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) was assessed by Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP). RESULTS A total of 108 patients participated in the present study. Results revealed that nodal metastasis, histological differentiation and pain were significant predictors of OHRQoL, while site, size, stage, histological differentiation and pain were significant predictors of HRQoL. Pain was the single most significant negative determinant of HRQoL that was associated with worst total OHIP (B = 2.01, β = 0.45, p < .0001), physical (B = -0.88, β = -0.21, p = .017) and mental (B = -1.00, β = -0.22, p = .016) component summary scores. CONCLUSIONS Number of sociodemographic-, patient- and tumour-related factors emerged as significant predictors of HRQoL and OHRQoL. Study results might help in formulating targeted treatment plan, optimising patient care and follow-up.

Oral and general health-related quality of life in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients- comparative analysis of different treatment regims. J Oral Biol Craniofac Res 2021; 11:125-131. [PMID: 33532199 DOI: 10.1016/j.jobcr.2021.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 12/24/2020] [Accepted: 01/02/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Modern aggressive oncological treatment options for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are inevitably associated with impaired general health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and oral HRQoL (OHRQoL). However, there is dire need for prospective and concomitant assessment of HRQoL and OHRQoL after different treatment regims. Hence, present study was designed to investigate HRQoL and OHRQoL in patients treated for OSCC using various modalities. Methods 135 OSCC patients were grouped according to treatment rendered into Group A: surgery only; Group B: post-surgical radiotherapy (PRT); and Group C: post-surgical chemo-radiation (PCRT). The 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) were intervened to assess HRQoL and OHRQoL respectively at 1-month and 6-months post-treatment. Results At 1-month post-treatment, patients who received PCRT showed significantly lower mean values for physical and mental domains of SF-12 and higher mean subscales and overall OHIP-14 (24.57 ± 2.62) score than those treated by surgery alone (10.55 ± 2.26) and PRT (20.20 ± 3.80), with largest differences between PCRT and surgery alone groups (p < 0.001). Social functioning, general health and bodily pain of SF-12 and functional limitations, physical pain and physical disability amongst OHIP-14 domains were greatly affected. Although few physical domains of SF-12 showed significant improvement, mental domains remained a greater problem after 6 months. However, OHRQoL was significantly poor in all the three study groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion Irrespective of the post-treatment duration, patients who received PCRT had worse HRQoL and OHRQoL. There is a need to identify factors associated with impaired HRQoL and OHRQoL to customize better therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cancer survivors are now living longer giving rise to a new concept-chronic cancer as survivors continue to face long-term consequences of cancer and its treatment. For these survivors, QOL becomes a vital consideration in understanding their survivorship and the long-term impact of cancer and its treatment. The primary aim of this review is to describe QOL in cancer survivors two or more years from diagnosis. METHODS A meta-analysis was completed of relevant studies assessing QOL in long-term cancer survivorship using PubMed, CINHAL, and PsycINFO. A total of 64 articles met inclusion criteria and included in the analysis. Standardized effect sizes and errors were calculated using previously published standard QOL pass rates to compare QOL across measurement tools and calculate cumulative effect sizes (CES). Fixed-effect or random-effects models were used based on the presence of significant heterogeneity of ≤ 0.10. RESULTS Physical health (CES = - 0.894; CI, - 1.472, - 0.316), role-physical health (CES = - 2.039; CI, - 2.643, - 1.435), and mental health (CES = - 0.870; CI, - 1.447, - 0.292) had large, negative cumulative effect sizes signifying worse QOL compared with acceptable QOL rates. Tested moderators, cancer type, average age, country of origin, time since diagnosis, or decade of diagnosis, were not significant to explain heterogeneity between included studies. CONCLUSION QOL is significantly impacted 2 to 26 years after cancer diagnosis. More research is needed to determine possible moderators of QOL in long-term cancer survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS QOL continues to be significantly impacted in long-term cancer survivorship. More research is needed to understand the impact of these findings on care needs for survivors with chronic cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oral cancer diagnosis and treatment could influence the well-being of patients. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QOL) of oral cancer patients after their treatments. METHOD In this descriptive-analytical study, all oral cancer patients' records were retrieved from the archives of the oral pathology departments of Isfahan dental school and Sayed-al-Shohada from 2004 to 2015. Telephone interviews were conducted to collect data using the short form 36 (SF-36) and Head and Neck (H&N35) questionnaire. Demographic information of participants as well as tumor-related information, including last treatment date, therapy method, differentiation grade (mild, moderate, poorly differentiated), primary place of tumor in the mouth, and history of recurrence were recorded. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), t test, and Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients were used for data analysis (α = 0.5). RESULTS From 223 registered patients, 73 were available. Most of the participants were in the age group of 29-87 years (61 ± 16.3). The mean of SF36 and H&N QOL was 63.77 ± 23.44 (from 100) and 63.7 ± 15.36 (35-140). Females and those receiving combined therapy had lower QOL status. Participants who received their last treatment earlier had a significantly better QOL for both scores (P value < 0.001). History of recurrence, older age, and lower education had a significant correlation with general and disease specific QOL (P value < 0.001). CONCLUSION The general QOL of patients with oral cancer was lower than that of the normal population in most domains. The postoperative QOL in our patients was significantly influenced by demographic and tumor-related factors. These factors should be considered by the treatment teams.

Abstract
Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is gaining importance as a valuable outcome measure in oral cancer area. The aim of this study was to assess the general and oral HRQoL of oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients 6 or more months after treatment and compare them with a population free from this disease. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with patients treated for oral cancer at least 6 months post-treatment and a gender and age group matched control group. HRQoL was measured with the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12); oral HRQoL (OHRQoL) was evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP). Multivariable regression models assessed the association between the outcomes (SF-12, OHIP-14 and OIDP) and the exposure (patients versus controls), adjusting for sex, age, social class, functional tooth units and presence of illness. Results For patients (n = 142) and controls (n = 142), 64.1% were males. The mean age was 65.2 (standard deviation (sd): 12.9) years in patients and 67.5 (sd: 13.7) years in controls. Patients had worse SF-12 Physical Component Summary scores than controls even in fully the adjusted model [β-coefficient = −0.11 (95% CI: −5.12-(−0.16)]. The differences in SF-12 Mental Component Summary were not statistically significant. Regarding OHRQoL patients had 11.63 (95% CI: 6.77-20.01) higher odds for the OHIP-14 and 21.26 (95% CI: 11.54-39.13) higher odds for OIDP of being in a worse category of OHRQoL compared to controls in the fully adjusted model. Conclusion At least 6 months after treatment, oral cancer patients had worse OHRQoL, worse physical HRQoL and similar psychological HRQoL than the general population.

Abstract
Treatments used in cancer of the oral cavity have great impact on the physical, psychological and functional state of patients. There has been increasingly interest in evaluating the health-related quality of life using questionnaires among patients treated with oral cancer. Up to our knowledge no review on this theme has incorporated the level of evidence of the single identified studies. The objective of the present study is to determinate results and conclusions about the health-related quality of life of these patients, in view of scientific evidence. In general, the diversity of designs, level of evidence and questionnaires used for their assessment does not affect results, which indicate a decline in the health related quality of life after treatment. This decline is greater when the tumor is large in size, and when radiotherapy is used, though the situation is seen to improve over the span of a year. Questionnaires on health-related quality of life provide concrete information regarding the impact of cancer treatment on patients.
