Abstract

The primary aim of treatment of patients with oral cancer is to remove the disease in entirety, thereby saving the patient’s life. Hence, traditionally, treatment outcomes and research on patients with oral cancer have centered on factors such as tumor response to treatment, locoregional control of disease, disease-free survival, and overall survival at defined points of time [13]. However, therapeutic interventions for the treatment of oral cancer produce significant amount of disfigurement and altered function [33, 35]. During the last couple of decades, providing patients with improved functional outcomes has become the goal in treatment of patients with head and neck cancers [1, 21, 24]. There is increasing focus on global impact of oral cancer and the treatment outcome of oral cancer on patient’s perceptions of oral and general quality of life [12, 16, 20, 27]. It has also been suggested that, at the time of diagnosis, patients seek prolonged survival, whereas following curative treatment patients’ concerns shift from survival toward improvement and maintenance of their quality of life [26, 31].
