Quality of Life Before and After Radiation Therapy for Early-Stage Keratinocyte Carcinoma: A Longitudinal Analysis

Little is known about patient-reported quality of life (QOL) before and after radiotherapy (RT) for early keratinocyte carcinoma (KC). The present study tested the hypothesis that QOL is hypothesized to deteriorate soon after RT, with subsequent improvement of a magnitude similar to other KC treatme...

Zusammenfassung:Little is known about patient-reported quality of life (QOL) before and after radiotherapy (RT) for early keratinocyte carcinoma (KC). The present study tested the hypothesis that QOL is hypothesized to deteriorate soon after RT, with subsequent improvement of a magnitude similar to other KC treatments. This observational study assessed prospectively collected longitudinal patient-reported QOL data at a single center. Patients undergoing external beam RT for early-stage (T0-2,
