Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study shed light on an under-researched area by examining the prognostic associations of pre-treatment QoL with overall survival and distant metastasis free survival among patients with head and neck cancer who underwent free flap reconstruction. In addition, a validated instrument specific to head and neck cancer, i.e. the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QoL) was adopted.

Arms (1)
- label
- Head and neck cancer patients
- description
- Patients with oral cavity, tongue, gingival, pharyngeal, laryngeal, or salivary gland cancer and cervical lymph node metastasis who received free flap reconstruction would be enrolled in this study. However, we excluded the patients with distant metastasis identified in their medical records, and those undergoing reconstruction other than anterolateral thigh, fibular bone and radial forearm flaps.
