Objectives
To investigate the quality of life in patients treated with either RT or surgery alone for T1a glottic carcinoma.
Design
This prospective cohort study aims to assess generic‐ and disease‐specific patient‐reported QoL in patients treated with either surgery or RT for T1a glottic carcinoma.
Settings
Multicentre, secondary care specialist head and neck units in the UK.
Participants...
For older patients with clinically lymph node‐negative breast cancer who have estrogen receptor‐positive tumors and are treated with tamoxifen, randomized trials comparing axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) versus no ALND show that the omission of ALND improves patient quality of life and has no adverse effects on mortality. These results have served to justify sentinel node biopsy (SNB) omission...
Background
Patient satisfaction is infrequently investigated despite its importance in assessing efficacy and patient comprehension. The purpose of this study was to investigate patient satisfaction with treatment outcomes after surgery and/or radiotherapy for spinal metastases and to evaluate how health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) is related to patient satisfaction.
Methods
Patients with spinal...
BackgroundLittle data exist regarding long‐term functional and quality of life (QOL) outcomes for survivors of Ewing sarcoma (ES). Specifically, there are few reports assessing the impact of patient characteristics and local therapy modalities on patient‐reported outcomes (PRO).
ProcedureLong‐term survivors of ES treated between 1977 and 2009 completed self‐assessed functional and QOL surveys, using...
