Abstract
The quality of life (QOL) of patients after radical surgery for oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer has been studied as an important factor in determining the treatment effectiveness of speech rehabilitation technique using the OnkoSpeech v4.0 computer software. To assess QOL, the EORTC QLQ-30 (version 3.0) and QLQ-H&N35 questionnaires were used.
The use of OnkoSpeech v4.0 demonstrated higher efficiency of speech rehabilitation and improvement of patients' quality of life compared to the standard technique. The data obtained highlight the potential of integrating digital technologies into speech rehabilitation of cancer patients, which can be recommended for further implementation in clinical practice.
