Der Übersichtsartikel befasst sich überwiegend mit der Darstellung des aktuellen Wissens und der Messmethoden der krankheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität in der Onkologie unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Larynx- und Hypopharynxkarzinomen. Neben den aktuell gängigen und etablierten Instrumenten werden die Besonderheiten der initialen Gesprächsführung, Erfassung der psychiatrischen Komorbiditäten sowie die Rolle der psychoonkologischen und sozialmedizinischen Betreuung und ihr erheblicher Einfluss auf die krankheitsbezogene Lebensqualität erörtert. Im Vordergrund stehen die Ergebnisse der mitteldeutschen Kopf-Hals-onkologischen sozialmedizinischen Studien, die zusammengefasst dargestellt werden.

This review presents the current knowledge and methods of measuring disease-related quality of life in oncology, with particular emphasis on laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. In addition to the currently popular and well-established instruments, specifics of the initial interview process, collection of psychiatric comorbidities, and the role of social care and its substantial influence on disease-related quality of life are discussed. At the forefront are the results of the central German head and neck oncology social-medical studies.
