Brief Title: Patient Preferences in Making Treatment Decisions in Patients With Stage I-IVA Oropharyngeal Cancer
Official Title: Patient Preferences in Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Decisions - a Pilot Study of the Durability of Patient Priorities
Study ID: NCT01949740
Brief Summary: This pilot research trial studies patient preferences in making treatment decisions in patients with stage I-IVA oropharyngeal cancer. Questionnaires that measure patient priorities before and after treatment may improve the ability to plan for better quality of life in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the stability of Head and Neck Priorities Scale (HNPS) ranking between pre- and post-treatment assessments. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Use patient-interviews to refine and modify the HNPS for use in a larger scale trial. II. Pilot the Head and Neck Patient Outcomes Survey (HNPOS) as a potential tool to identify priorities most important to quality-of-life outcomes. III. Use the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck (FACT-H\&N) and EurolQoL-5D to determine the validity of the HNPOS. OUTLINE: Patients participate in a 45-minute interview comprising assessment of priorities and quality of life at baseline, 1, 6, and 12 months.
