Brief summary

Communication, social interactions, diet andaesthetic appearance are altered. Its modifications disrupt the quality of life of patients and must be taken into account as soon as possible in patient cares.

| EORTC QLQ-C30 | Day 0 | The QLQ-C30 is a generic questionnaire with 30 questions coded in 4 response modalities (not at all (1), a little (2), enough (3), a lot (4)) or in 7 response modalities (from very bad (1) to excellent ( 7)). Questions are summarized in five multiitem domains (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning) and nine single item domains (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, appetite loss, financial impact; diarrhea, constipation, sleep disturbance and quality of life). Each domain is scored between 0 and 100. For functional domains, a high score value represents a high level of quality of life. For symptom domains, a high score represents an important level of symptoms (a low level of quality of life). |
