Head and neck cancer patients' quality of life.

Patients suffering from head and neck cancers often require a multidisciplinary approach before and after surgery. Restoration of facial esthetics, speech, mastication and others often requires a long-lasting, divided rehabilitation. Quality of life (QOL) is measurable in a patient's life before and after surgery and complete treatment. The state of QOL has different parameters depending on the patient's clinical diagnosis, type of treatment and surgeries performed. In this paper, the authors are focusing on the quality of life of patients suffering from head and neck cancers and a proper multidisciplinary approach to achieving proper functions will be described. Also, the patient's self-esteem improvement and psychological evaluation is necessary.
