SURVEY ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH LARYNGEAL CANCER AFTER PARTIAL LARYNGECTOMY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: The methods of laryngectomy in partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer treatment have now been widely used in clinical practice. Treatment results also show that the success of partial laryngectomy is not only significant in the resolution of the disease, but also in preserving laryngeal function and improving quality of life. Objectives: To survey the quality of life of patients with laryngeal cancer after partial laryngectomy and to find out some factors related to the quality of life of the patients. Method: Retrospective study on 38 patients with partial laryngectomy at at University Medical center HCMC. Quality of life was assessed by the quality of life questionnaire EORTC-C30 and EORTC-H&N35. Result: The overall quality of life of patients after partial laryngectomy was slightly impaired with a mean score of 74.3 ± 24.9. In the functional aspect, there was only a slight decline in the social role. The symptom index of insomnia, voice disturbances, communication skills, sexual impairment, cough and feeling sick were all affected. The open surgery group had a mean score of voice disorders (52.9 ± 32.5) significantly higher than the laser microsurgery group (4.4 ± 6.1) with p < 0.005. Age factor > 60 increases symptoms of insomnia in this patient with p < 0.05. The group with adjuvant treatment was more affected in terms of social role, social integration and financial difficulties than the group without treatment with p < 0.05. Conclusion: The overall quality of life of patients after partial laryngectomy was slightly impaired.
