NCT02552550

Brief Summary

The curative treatment and organ preservation in advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx is multimodal. It involves induction chemotherapy and depending on the response radio-chemotherapy or surgery. The combination of these methods has important functional consequences. The aim of this prospective pilot study is to describe swallowing, speech, but also patients' quality of life before and after therapeutic management (existing studies measuring these functions after treatment but not before).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • change from swallowing disorder

    A swallowing disorder will be determined by conducting a video-endoscopy and voluntary swallowing reflex (composite measure)

    between day 0 and 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change from phonation disorder

    between day 0 and 1 year

  • Change from quality of life

    between day 0 and 1 year

Study Arms (1)

Ability to swallow, speak and quality of life

This will just be an evaluation, before any treatment, his ability to swallow, speak and quality of life then, as in normal practice, after 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment.

Procedure: Ability to swallow, speak and quality of life

Interventions

This study will not change the patient's treatment. This will just be an evaluation, before any treatment, his ability to swallow, speak, then his quality of life, as in normal practice, after 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment.
