Brief Summary

The primary treatment option of many patients with head and neck cancer is surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In the literature, functional problems that occur after surgical interventions applied to head and neck cancer patients are frequently mentioned. Morbidities resulting from the combined application of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are based on more anecdotal information and critical data on long-term functional outcomes in this patient group are scarce. The aim of this study is to make the validity, reliability and cultural adaptation of the Head and Neck Cancer Inventory in Turkish.

Conditions

Quality of Life; Head and Neck Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Head and Neck Cancer Inventory

  It is a scale consisting of 30 items in total, containing 4 main categories \[speech (10 items), eating (10 items), aesthetics (2 items), social disorders (7 items)\] evaluating the quality of life related to head and neck cancer and an additional item evaluating the overall quality of life. This inventory reflects both functionality (how functional the patient is) and attitudes (how satisfied is the patient's functional level) using a 5-point Likert-type scale. This scale does not have a summary score representing all items, the score of 4 different categories can be calculated. The higher the scores, the better the quality of life \[2\].

  At baseline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck Cancer Version 4
