Quality of life and health-related utility after trans-oral surgery for head and neck cancers

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess utility coefficients of health states following two minimally invasive surgical approaches for head and neck cancer, namely trans-oral robotic surgery and trans-oral laser microsurgery. Those utility coefficients will be later exploited in an...
