What was measured

The FACT-H\&N (version 4) consists of a cancer-specific questionnaire, FACT-G, in addition to 12 H\&N cancer-specific items (the HN subscale). FACT-G is a 27-item measure that assesses general cancer quality of life. FACT-HN total score ranges between 0 and 148. The higher the score, the better the QOL.

Analysis population: Eligible and treated patients with FACT-HN total scores 6 months after treatment available

Groups in this outcome

Arm S (Surgery) Then Arm A (Low Risk, Observation)

Patients undergo transoral surgical resection of the oropharyngeal tumor. After transoral surgical resection of the oropharyngeal tumor, low risk patients are under observation.

Arm S (Surgery) Then Arm B (Intermediate Risk, Low-dose IMRT)

Patients undergo transoral surgical resection of the oropharyngeal tumor. After transoral surgical resection of the oropharyngeal tumor, intermediate risk patients receive low-dose IMRT (50 Gy) QD five days a week for 5 weeks.

Arm S (Surgery) Then Arm C (Intermediate Risk, Standard-dose IMRT)

Patients undergo transoral surgical resection of the oropharyngeal tumor. After transoral surgical resection of the oropharyngeal tumor, intermediate risk patients receive standard-dose IMRT (60 Gy) QD five days a week for 6 weeks.

Arm S (Surgery) Then Arm D (High Risk, IMRT, Chemotherapy)

Patients undergo transoral surgical resection of the oropharyngeal tumor. After transoral surgical resection of the oropharyngeal tumor, high risk patients then receive IMRT (66Gy) QD five days a week for 6-7 weeks. Patients also receive cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, and 43 during radiation therapy.
