Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın
amacı larenks kanserli hastalarda ameliyat tipi ve adjuvant radyoterapinin (RT)
hastaların ses ve yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır.

Yöntem: Larenks kanseri
nedeni ile ameliyat edilen 38 hasta (37 erkek, 1 kadın; ort. yaş 63,6 ± 9,63  yıl) bu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tanı
esnasındaki tümör lokalizasyonu, TNM evrelemesi, uygulanan ameliyat tipi,
adjuvant/primer RT alımı, nüks varlığı ve postoperatif takip süresi kaydedildi.
Tüm katılımcıların öznel ses handikap indeksi (VHI-10) ve Washington
Üniversitesi Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi versiyon-IV (UWQOL-4) ile ses ve yaşam kalitesi
skorları hesaplandı. Ses analizi Xion Endo Strop-DX sistemi ile
gerçekleştirildi. Anket skorları ve ses parametreleri gruplar arasında
karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular: VHI ortalamaları
stripping/kordektomi grubunda, parsiyel veya total larenjektomi gruplarına göre
istatistiksel olarak daha düşüktü. ortalama SPLmin, MFZ ve UWQOL’ın ağrı,
görünüş, yutma ve çiğneme puan ortalamaları RT almayan grupta RT alan gruptan
daha yüksek idi. VHI ve yaşam kalitesi parametreleri arasında bir negatif yönlü
bir korelasyon saptandı.







Sonuç: İleri evre
larenks kanserlerinde artan cerrahi manüpülasyonlar ve adjuvant RT ihtiyacı
hastaların ağrı, ses, konuşma, yutma, çiğneme fonksiyonlarını etkileyerek yaşam
kalitesini düşürmektedir. Bu nedenle hastalığın erken tanınıp tedavisinin
planlanması oldukça önemlidir. Öznel ses kalitesi arttıkça yaşam kalitesi
skorlarının da artmış olması hastaların tedavi sonrası ses terapisine ve
psikoterapiye yönlendirilmelerinin önemini bir kez daha göstermektedir.

Abstract

Introduction: To evaluate the
effect of surgery type and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) on voice quality and
quality of life in patients with larynx cancer.

Methods: 38 patients with
larynx cancer (37 males, 1 female; mean age 63.6 ± 9.63 years) were included in
this study. The parameters including tumor localization, TNM staging, and type
of surgery performed, adjuvant/primary RT intake and recurrence were recorded.
All participants filled voice handicap index (VHI-10) and University of Washington
Quality of Life Questionnaire version-IV (UWQOL-4). Voice analysis was
performed by Xion Endo Strop-DX system. Questionnaire scores and voice
parameters were compared between groups.

Results: There was a
statistically significant low mean values of VHI detected within the group of
stripping/cordectomy compared to groups of partial or total laryngectomy. In
the group without RT, the mean values of SPLmin, MPT, pain, appearance,
swallowing and chewing subgroups of UWQOL scale were higher than the group treated
with RT. There was a negative correlation identified between VHI and QOL
parameters.







Conclusion: In advanced stage
larynx cancer, increased surgical manipulation and adjuvant RT requirements
decrease QOL. As a result early diagnosis of disease and treatment is very
important. As subjective voice quality increases QOL scores rise, indicating
the importance of referring patients for voice therapy and psychotherapy after
treatment.
