10 Quality ofLife inHead & Neck Surgical Oncology andThyroid Surgery
159
Emotional, functional, and social effects on a
patient’s life can be measured with a variety of
QoL instruments and PROMs questionnaires. In
view of the high survivorship rate in thyroid cancer, there is an increasing onus on accurately
measuring patients’ QoL to further improve
patient outcomes by inuencing treatment pathways [126]. The most commonly used thyroidspecic QoL instruments are COH-QoL Thyroid
and QOL-Thyroid [127]. These generally assess
similar domains such as the general effect on
physical, psychological, social, and spiritual
wellbeing during illness and/or treatment. The
EORTC QLQ-THY [9] and THYCA-QOL [22]
are other common tools that evaluate the effect of
symptoms including tiredness, pain, voice
change, dysphagia, palpitations, tingling, and
muscle cramps, amongst others.
Current treatment options for thyroid cancer
patients depend on the specic (sub-)type.
Management strategies include surgery (thyroid
lobectomy or total thyroidectomy), RadioActive
Iodine (RAI) ablation, Thyroid Stimulating
Hormone (TSH) suppression, active surveillance,
or targeted systemic therapy in cases of relapsing
and metastatic disease, among others [128].
Increased survivorship in thyroid cancer patients
means longer periods of disease-free life, but also
an increased chance of living with the adverse
effects associated with treatment(s). It is therefore imperative to understand the impact of treatment choices on thyroid cancer patients’ QoL.
Interestingly, despite thyroid cancer having a
relatively good prognosis, thyroid cancer patients
appear to suffer a disproportionately lower QoL
than would have been expected, especially when
considering the QoL impact on patients with different cancer sites known to carry a much worse
prognosis [7, 129–131]. Specically, thyroid
cancer survivors have a lower reported overall
QoL compared to breast cancer survivors, and
similar results compared to gynaecological, glioma, and colorectal cancer survivors [132].
There is a multitude of factors contributing to
this [133–135]. Due to its relatively good prognosis, many thyroid cancer patients report their
diagnosis can be trivialised as they are frequently
told about having a ‘good cancer type’. [129]
However, they still experience anxiety related to
their initial diagnosis, and fear of a second cancer, but can feel that they do not have as much
support from their families and physicians as a
result of the good prognosis [132, 136]. As previously mentioned, lifelong surveillance can contribute to this anxiety and disrupt patients’ social
and professional lives. The impact of such posttreatment surveillance is only magnied in
younger patients who have more disease-free
years as is often the case in thyroid cancer survivors [129]. Patients can also enter a hypothyroid
state which can contribute to a wide range of
unpleasant symptoms including fatigue, increased
appetite, and sleep changes that can all negatively
impact on QoL [21].
Surgical complications have also been shown
to contribute to negative QoL scores with postoperative dysphonia and dysphagia representing
key predictors of worse QoL post-thyroid surgery
[137]. In addition, negative scar perception, especially in females, can contribute to lower QoL
scores [138]. Complications of RAI such as
appetite changes, sialadenitis, xerostomia, and
xerophthalmia, as well as its impact on fertility,
have also been associated with inferior QoL
scores [137]. In addition, further issues can arise
with RAI, where some patients report being misinformed regarding its possible side effects
resulting in them being unclear on the benets
and risks of the therapy [139]. There is also data
to suggest that RAI can shorten the reproductive
life of a female, which can substantially impact
on QoL from a psychosocial standpoint. [140]
Overall, RAI has been shown to be associated
with poorer QoL scores [141].
Patients with hypoparathyroidism as a complication of thyroid surgery also report lower
QoL compared to those without in domains such
as global health, physical, emotional, and social
functioning as well as tiredness, pain, and insomnia [142]. This is important to recognise as up to
14% of thyroid cancer patients can have low calcium levels even up to 1 year after diagnosis
[143]. Furthermore, permanent hypoparathyroidism following total thyroidectomy has been
shown to be associated with an increased risk of
death [144]. This can further add to health-related

anxiety in thyroid cancer survivors. Generally,
utilisation of QoL instruments has found that
lowest overall scores were attributed to the distress following initial diagnosis, RAI ablation,
surgery, withdrawal of levothyroxine, and fear of
a second cancer [129]. These QoL scores were
lower when evaluated less than one year compared to more than 5years post-treatment.
Comparison ofQuality ofLife Between
Dierent Treatments forThyroid
Cancer
Given the above concerns, recent studies have
aimed to compare QoL between treatment
options for thyroid cancer patients. Of course, the
main factor governing treatment choice is typically curative potential. However, patients’ QoL
should not be underestimated when making personalised treatment recommendations. These
should always be made in a multidisciplinary
fashion with active patient involvement.
Robotic Versus Open Thyroidectomy
The use of robotic thyroidectomy emerged in
2009 [145–147]. In comparison to traditional
open approaches, robotic thyroidectomy can
achieve superior cosmesis - with its associated
benecial effect on QoL- but this is at the expense
of time and cost [148]. In terms of post-operative
complications, robotic thyroidectomy carries a
reduced incidence of (permanent) Recurrent
Laryngeal Nerve (RLN) paralysis and temporary
hypoparathyroidism, with no signicant difference in (temporary) RLN neurapraxia, permanent
hypoparathyroidism, haematoma and chyle leak
rates compared to open thyroidectomy [149, 150].
In addition, there is no difference in disease recurrence between the surgical approaches.
With respect to QoL measures, while there is
no demonstrable difference in pain at 1 month
post-operatively, there is less neck paraesthesia,
less voice change and better voice reported with
robotic thyroidectomy compared to open. There is
also a signicant increase in patient reported satisfaction with ‘invisible’ axillary/chest scars compared to traditional neck incisions [150–153].
Despite this, it is important to note that the use of
robotic thyroidectomy remains limited outside
South Korea, where the majority of this data originates from, with a questionable value in healthcare settings across the Western World [154]. The
translatability of the outcomes discussed above in
other countries is therefore likely to be limited.
Radioactive Iodine Ablation Versus
Surgery
RAI can be administered to patients as an adjuvant therapy following total thyroidectomy for
high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer. When
examining the effect of RAI on QoL, there are
known factors that can lead to worse scores,
already discussed above. There is limited data
comparing QoL outcomes in patients undergoing
RAI ablation and surgery versus surgery alone.
PROMs studies suggest no difference between
the 2 groups when it comes to domains such as
anxiety, fatigue, pain, insomnia, and physical
functioning. There is also no difference in overall
self-reported health-related QoL between the 2
groups [155].
Radiofrequency Ablation Versus
Surgery
In cases of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma,
RadioFrequency Ablation (RFA) can be administered as an independent treatment modality to
surgery. Use of QoL instruments such as SF-36
and the thyroid specic THYCA-QoL, demonstrate better physical and mental outcomes with
RFA compared to surgery. Understandably, there
are also better reported outcomes with respect to
scar perception in RFA alone compared to total
thyroidectomy. There is no reported difference in
fear of progression/recurrence between these
groups [156].
Hemithyroidectomy Versus Total
Thyroidectomy
Hemithyroidectomy alone can be a viable treatment option in patients with low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer [157]. This has stemmed
from research demonstrating no additional benet with total thyroidectomy compared to
hemithyroidectomy in overall survival in

10 Quality ofLife inHead & Neck Surgical Oncology andThyroid Surgery
161
Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC) even for
tumours exceeding 1cm (i.e. beyond microcarcinomas) [158]. Hemithyroidectomy has been
shown to have less adverse patient-reported
health-related QoL outcomes and adverse treatment effects compared to total thyroidectomy
[159]. In addition, those undergoing hemithyroidectomy report less concerns regarding their
scar compared to total thyroidectomy as evaluated by THYCA-QOL [156]. However, overall
long-term QoL outcomes have shown no difference between hemi- and total thyroidectomy
patients [160, 161]. In addition, evaluation of
thyroid-specic domains such as voice concerns, neck discomfort, swallowing and temperature intolerance with EORTC QLQ-C30,
THYCA-QOL, and EORTC QLQ-THY34 QoL
instruments has not shown any difference
between the 2 treatment groups [160, 162]. In
fact, when considering patient worry surrounding recurrence, patients undergoing hemithyroidectomy scored worse than those who had
total thyroidectomy [160]. However, this needs
to be balanced against the lower complication
prole of hemithyroidectomy compared to total
thyroidectomy [163]. As previously discussed,
post- thyroidectomy complications can have an
independent effect on QoL outcomes and should
thus be taken into consideration and clearly
explained to patients.
Active Surveillance Versus Surgery
For papillary thyroid microcarcinomas, active
surveillance with serial imaging by an appropriate multidisciplinary thyroid team lifelong has
been shown to constitute a safe alternative to
immediate surgery [164]. When comparing QoL
measures between the 2 groups, utilisation of
THYCA-QOL has demonstrated that patients
undergoing surgery tend to report inferior QoL
outcomes. This is particularly relevant for
domains relating to voice, scar, neuromuscular,
and psychological outcomes [165, 166]. When
assessing outcomes with more generic QoL
instruments such as fear of progression (FoPQ- SF), there is no difference in outcomes between
these 2 groups [165].
Conclusion
Patient reported outcomes constitute a vital component in optimising overall treatment outcomes
in all aspects of modern head and neck oncology.
This is especially true in thyroid cancer patients
who experience disproportionately worse QoL
compared to patients with other primary cancers
carrying a much worse prognosis. This is in part
related to the younger demographic of thyroid
cancer patients who naturally have a longer
period of disease-free life to worry about factors
such as recurrence. Utilisation of thyroid-specic
QoL tools can be benecial in comparing QoL
outcomes between treatment modalities. This can
help guide multidisciplinary consultations with
patients by presenting to them all options and discussing the benets and risks of each including
the possible impact of each treatment strategy to
their QoL, a key consideration for all patients. It
is the hope that this can further improve overall
outcomes related to thyroid cancer management
by allowing patients to make more informed
decisions regarding their care.

Introduction
Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and, in absolute numbers, one of the most
common causes of cancer deaths [1]. There has
been a lot of development over the past few
decades in regard to treatment leading to a variety
of treatment options in breast cancer patients,
including surgery, endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiotherapy. These,
combined with improvements in early detection
and prevention, have led to vastly improved survival rates with an estimated average 5-year survival of over 90% [1, 2]. These new therapies, of
course, come at a trade-off. Besides the obvious
benets in survival, the variety of different surgical options as well as the drugs in use and the
exposure to radiation all have a specic set of
adverse effects that have to be taken into consideration. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate
the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of
breast cancer survivors. The literature body on
this topic is extensive. This chapter aims to comprehensively summarize the evidence in the
available literature on HRQOL in breast cancer
patients to identify key factors that inuence the
HRQOL and identify areas for improvement that
should be considered in future clinical practice.
Material andMethods
Search Strategy
Due to the extensive literature related to this
topic, only systematic reviews related to HRQOL
in breast cancer patients were considered. This
guarantees a certain degree of quality of the
respective articles. Regarding the 10-year time
frame, this comes shortly after the advent of all
commonly used adjuvant therapies, which, of
course, can potentially inuence HRQOL and
therefore make results more comparable. A
PubMed search using the following criteria was
performed: ((((Quality[Title]) AND
(Breast[Title])) AND ((“2011/01/01”[Date Publication]: “3000”[Date- Publication]))) AND
(Systematic Review[Filter])) AND (quality of
these search terms were then hand searched for
any other relevant systematic reviews.
