ABSTRACT
This retrospective study explored the quality of life (QoL) in Chinese patients with laryngeal cancer (LC) after radiotherapy.Fifty-nine eligible patients with Tis-T4 LC were included in this retrospective study. All patients received radiotherapy. Outcomes were measured by the core measure Questionnaire-C30 (QLQ-C30), and the disease-specific Head & Neck cancer module (QLQ-H&N35). All outcomes were assessed before and 3 months after the radiotherapy.Three months after the radiotherapy, all items of QLQ-C30 and QLQ-H&N35 scales changed significantly (Pâ<â.05), except the social functioning (Pâ=â.09), role activities (Pâ=â.81), and global (Pâ=â.12) in QLQ-C30 scale and social contacts (Pâ=â1.00), teeth problems (Pâ=â.21), trismus (Pâ=â1.00), and feeling ill (Pâ=â.07) in QLQ-H&N35 scale, compared with these items before the radiotherapy.The results of this study showed that most items of QoL changed significantly after 3 months of radiotherapy in Chinese patients with LC.
