Abstract

Head and neck cancer refers to skin tumors that affect people of all ages. Treatments for this type of disease include surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Purpose: to examine self-image and quality of life of patients who had head and neck cancer. Participants: 28 patients between 30-73 years. Instruments: Instrument for Assessing Quality of Life of the WHO - and the brief version of Evaluation Scale with Body Satisfaction. Results: Total quality of life and their subscales was positively correlated with self-image, with the exception of social relations subscale. Self-image was a significant predictor of total quality of life and physical psychological and environment dimension. Conclusion: quality of life was closely linked with self-image in these patients.
