Quality of Life data from the Regional Head & Neck Unit
Please try our on-line searchable Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL)database. We have compiled over 800 individual questionnaires completed by our patients over the last 10 years to allow users to perform a customisable search to help predict what their quality of life might be like after surgery plus/minus radiotherapy for a number of tumour sites and a number of different operations.
