Notes
- Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the effect of age on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), treated with curative intent, in the Western healthcare region of Sweden. Materials and Methods: In this prospective observational study, 311 HNC patients completed quality of life questionnaires for cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-H&N35) and for older patients with cancer (EORT QLQELD14) at diagnosis and 3, 6, and 12 months after start of treatment. Mean scores for patients >_70 years old were compared to younger patients (50 to 69 years old) to assess differences in HRQOL. Results: Of the 311 study participants, 105 patients were >_70 years old (median age 76.7), of which 32 were >_80 years of age. Most HRQOL scores were equal or better for older adult patients at 3 months after treatment, but physical function was better for younger adult patients up to 12 months after treatment. At 6 months the HRQOL was similar (older patients had less appetite loss and financial difficulties), while the oldest patients (>_80 years) had worse fatigue, role function, and feeling ill at 12 months. For the EORTC-ELD-14 questionnaire, older patients scored better for worries at diagnosis and reported more difficulties in maintaining purpose at 12 months after treatment. Conclusion: When curative treatment is administered, older adult patients with HNC have similar or even better HRQOL compared to younger adult patients, except for physical function, during the first year.
