- Purpose Head and neck cancer (HNC) is one of the fastest increasing cancer-types, where both disease and oncologic treatment have severe impact on health-related quality of life (HRQL). This study aimed to report HRQL prospectively up to 5-years following radiotherapy-treatment in HNC and to, if possible, identify trends in HRQL over time. Methods This prospective study followed 211 patients receiving curatively intended radiotherapy pre-diagnosis, 3-, 6-, 12- and 60-months post-radiotherapy completion. HRQL was measured using EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-HN35. Results A deterioration three months post-radiotherapy was reported in 14/15 domains of EORTC QLQ-C30. Eight out of 12 domains had recovered to baseline-values at 12 months post-radiotherapy and remained unchanged up to study endpoint. Corresponding figures for EORTC QLQ-HN35 were deteriorations in 15/16 domains at three months post-radiotherapy, with recovery of 5 domain at 12-months, whereas the other 11 domains remained significantly worse at 5-years post-RT compared to baseline. Conclusion Following the deterioration in HRQL seen immediately following radiotherapy, the continued course of HRQL can be divided into three trends: short-term deterioration, long-term deterioration and long-term improvements. The combination of disease- and diagnosis-specific questionnaires is crucial when assessing HRQL in the HNC population.
