Association between late effects assessed by physicians and quality of life reported by head-and-neck cancer survivors.

CONCLUSION: Physician-assessed moderate to severe hoarseness and mild, moderate, or severe dysphagia are associated with clinically relevant decreases in patient-reported quality of life and functioning. Fibrosis and xerostomia of any severity were not associated with changes in any scale of functioning in this study population. PMID: 28079429 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
