生活满意度是衡量病人对现实和需求之间差异的感知。本研究报告了头颈部癌症治疗后患者自我报告的生活满意度的纵向调查结果。生活满意度评分随着时间的推移而改善，并与疼痛，言语困难和吞咽困难有关。缺乏足够的家庭支持也很重要，尽管这是一个不常见的问题。治疗方式并没有成为生活满意度的一个重要决定因素;言语困难更可能是由于发音问题而不是发音困难。
Life-satisfaction is a measure of a patient's perception of the difference between his reality and his needs, or wants. This study reports the results of a longitudinal survey of patients' self-reported life-satisfaction following treatment for head and neck cancer. Life-satisfaction scores improved with time, and were related to pain, speech difficulty, and dysphagia. Lack of adequate family support was also important, although an uncommon problem. Treatment modality did not emerge as a significant determinant of life-satisfaction; speech difficulties were more likely to be due to articulation problems than voicing difficulty.
