Anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing laryngectomy: A long-term prospective evaluation
CONCLUSION: Anxiety, depression and QoL in laryngectomised patients improved at 1 year after surgery and were maintained for up to 5 years.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject Laryngectomy is associated with prolonged functional and psychological effects and has a major impact on patient quality of life (QoL). Several prospective studies evaluating the QoL in laryngectomised patients have been reported, in which significant deterioration in social functioning was found even 1 year after surgery. What this paper adds to existing knowledge One year is not a sufficient period for laryngectomised patients...

Radiation-associated changes in saliva composition of head and neck cancer patients: A systematic review
Radiother Oncol. 2024 Apr 20:110279. doi: 10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110279. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTXerostomia is a common radiation-associated toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer. Although several studies examined the decrease in saliva production due to radiotherapy (RT) and investigated the factors associated with this side effect, little is known about the change in radiation-associated saliva composition. This systematic review is the first to summarize existing data and give an overview of the change in pH/buffer capacity, electrolytes, proteins, enzymes, and mucins due to radiation to the salivary gland...
