“…Comparing to the control group, we found that the mean scores of the eight functional domains and summary components of the SF were lower for patients, being statistically significant in the Role Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health in our study. These findings contrast with those found in other studies [ 10 - 13 ] where some domains as General Health or Vitality were better in the patients than the reference group. These disagreements could be explained because of using population norms rather than a control group or doing the evaluations at a different period after the treatment.…”

“…Relevant studies in homogeneous samples of oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients have been inconclusive. Some found that patients had lower scores (worse HRQoL) [ 8 , 9 ] and others found similar scores or even higher scores (better HRQoL) [ 10 - 13 ] compared to reference values. Moreover, most studies compared the results with population norms and only one, focused on physiological problems, used a control group [ 11 ].…”

“…Second, we also acknowledge that the patients treated with cancer may not be suitable for determining critical time periods for evaluation of quality of life because of the heterogeneity. 23 Our result of the current study supports the hypothesis that nutritional status is a strong predictor of QoL in cancer patients. It also supports an approach to cancer treatment that takes all aspects of the patient's life into account.…”

“…In fact, just 34,4% in group 2 and 53.1% in group 3 would consent to further RT/CMT if necessary during the follow up. [39] Herce-Lopez et al [40] elaborated a cross-sectional study including 60 patients treated for a head and neck cancer who survived over 5 years without recurrences. In this case, patients filled out the SF-36 questionnaire, which include 8 categories: physical functioning, role-physical, role-emotional, vitality, mental health, social function, pain and the social dimension.…”

“…The impact of surgical reconstruction showed that patients who underwent complex reconstruction referred worse social functioning and pain, whereas patients who did not receive this kind of surgical procedure they referred a better general health status unless worst role-physical, role-emotional, social functioning and pain. [40] Follow up length is still a controversial aspect, because every author obtained results according a short follow-up period. Nevertheless, Rogers et al [41] determined no differences respecting the QOL between patients after 1 year of treatment or 5 years.…”
