Summary

This pilot research trial studies patient preferences in making treatment decisions in patients with stage I-IVA oropharyngeal cancer. Questionnaires that measure patient priorities before and after treatment may improve the ability to plan for better quality of life in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the stability of Head and Neck Priorities Scale (HNPS) ranking between pre- and post-treatment assessments. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Use patient-interviews to refine and modify the HNPS for use in a larger scale trial. II. Pilot the Head and Neck Patient Outcomes Survey (HNPOS) as a potential tool to identify priorities most important to quality-of-life outcomes. III. Use the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck (FACT-H\&N) and EurolQoL-5D to determine the validity of the HNPOS. OUTLINE: Patients participate in a 45-minute interview comprising assessment of priorities and quality of life at baseline, 1, 6, and 12 months.
