Patient‐Reported Quality of Life After Resection With Primary Closure for Oral Tongue Carcinoma

Objectives/Hypothesis For early‐stage oral tongue carcinoma and carcinoma in situ (ESOTCCIS), we evaluated patient‐reported quality‐of‐life (QOL) outcomes following resection with primary closure (R‐PC). Study Design Retrospective review at an academic cancer center. Methods Thirty‐nine ESOTCCIS pat...

Description
Summary:Objectives/Hypothesis For early‐stage oral tongue carcinoma and carcinoma in situ (ESOTCCIS), we evaluated patient‐reported quality‐of‐life (QOL) outcomes following resection with primary closure (R‐PC). Study Design Retrospective review at an academic cancer center. Methods Thirty‐nine ESOTCCIS patients (Tis, T1, T2) who underwent R‐PC without radiation completed the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire Version 4 (UW‐QOL) at least 6 months since R‐PC (mean = 2.39 years; range = 0.5–6.7 years). We compared UW‐QOL scores for pain, swallowing, chewing, speech, and taste to established normative population scores. Multivariable regression analysis evaluated factors associated with QOL impairment. Results ESOTCCIS patients who underwent R‐PC in comparison to the normative population reported significantly worse mean speech (87.7 vs. 98, P
