Long-Term Quality of Life and Functional Outcomes in Patients with Total Laryngectomy
TL patients experience the most significant impairments in QoL, speech, and social reintegration despite rehabilitation. CRT patients show higher recurrence rates but better QoL, while PL offers the best balance of function and survival. These findings highlight the need for long-term survivorship support tailored to treatment type.
