Long-Term Quality of Life After Swallowing and Salivary sparing Chemo-IMRT in survivors of HPV-related Oropharyngeal Cancer

摘要

Purpose/ObjectivesIMRT has improved the toxicity profile of chemo-radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Long-term patient-reported outcomes beyond two years, however, remain scarcely reported. Amidst concerns of delayed-onset dysphagia and other toxicities, we evaluated long-term health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) in two prospective studies of chemo-IMRT for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC).
