Long-term Quality of Life After Treatment of Laryngeal Cancer
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess long-term quality of life in surviving patients with advanced laryngeal cancer. DESIGN: A follow-up long-term quality-of-life survey of patients randomized to the Veterans Affairs Laryngeal Cancer Study No. 268 on induction chemotherapy and radiation (CT + RT) vs surgery and RT. SETTING AND PATIENTS: Forty-six (71%) of the 65 surviving patients with prior stage III or IV laryngeal cancer who could be contacted completed the survey: 25 from the surgery and RT group and 21 from the CT + RT group. Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics among survey respondents were similar, except that those in the CT + RT group were significantly older (mean, 61.2 years) than those in the surgery and RT group (mean, 55.7 years; P<.05). INTERVENTIONS AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients completed the University of Michigan Head and Neck Quality of Life (HNQOL) instrument, the Medical Outcomes Studies Short-Form 36 (SF-36) general health survey, the Beck Depression Inventory as well as smoking and alcohol consumption surveys. RESULTS: Patients randomized to the CT + RT group had significantly better (P<.05) quality-of-life scores on the SF-36 mental health domain (76.0) than the surgery and RT group (63.0), and also had better HNQOL pain scores (81.3 vs 64.3). Compared with patients who underwent laryngectomy, patients with intact larynges (CT + RT with larynx) had significantly less bodily pain (88.5 vs 56.5), better scores on the SF-36 mental health (79.8 vs 64.7), and better HNQOL emotion (89.7 vs 79.4) scores. More patients in the surgery and RT group (28%) were depressed than in the CT + RT group (15%). CONCLUSION: Better quality-of-life scores in the CT + RT groups appear to be related to more freedom from pain, better emotional well-being, and lower levels of depression than to preservation of speech function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
