Abstract
Radiotherapy of head and neck cancers as a unimodality does not significantly impact on Quality of life (QOL). In contrast, multimodality treatment decreases QOL. A novel approach is necessary to assess its multidimensional aspects. A general module, which assesses symptoms commonly experienced by cancer patients, is supplemented by a site or treatment-specific module, can assess difficulties unique to that particular type of cancer. There are specific instruments with which QOL can be measured in head and neck cancer patients. This is a single arm prospective observational study to assess deterioration of QOL in locally advanced head and neck cancer patients undergoing curative concurrent chemo radiation. This study is based on the assessment of changes in various domains of Quality of life over a period of 3 months post therapy.
