nalysis the factors that determine quality-of-life (QOL)
scores among successfully treated locally advanced
laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients and clarify their
impact on the survival. A study was conducted to determine
the relationship between QOL scores (Physical and mental
component of short form SF-36 questionnaire and the
pain, eating, speech, and mood domains from University
of Washington Quality of Life (UW-QOL) questionnaire
and all-cause survival among 62 locally advanced laryngeal
cancer patients.The Physical and mental component of short
form SF-36 Score and the pain, eating and mood domains
from UW-QOL score were significant survival predictors.
The speech domain of UW-QOL score was not associated
with survival. QOL scores were valuable in predicting and
detecting those patients with poor survival who had low
score in order to improve survival by close follow up, early
treatment of recurrence and any detected deterioration in
one or more of QOL domain in those patients.
