Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Facial skin cancer surgery impacts patient appearance, self-perception, and psychosocial well-being.
  • Surgical removal can lead to significant morbidity affecting quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of surgical intervention on facial appearance.
  • To evaluate changes in health-related quality of life before and after surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cohort study with 108 participants undergoing facial skin cancer surgery.
  • Utilized the FACE-Q Skin Cancer questionnaire for pre- and post-operative assessments up to 12 months.
  • Statistical significance set at P < 0.05.

Main Results:

  • Postoperative improvements in facial appearance satisfaction and reduced appearance-related distress.
  • Significant enhancements in cancer worry, scar appraisal, and sun protection behaviors (P < 0.001).
  • Younger age, melanoma diagnosis, and reconstructive repair were associated with less favorable outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Facial skin cancer surgery positively influences health-related quality of life and appearance.
  • Targeted perioperative support is recommended for younger patients, melanoma patients, and those undergoing reconstructive repair.
  • Clinical integration of the FACE-Q Skin Cancer module can personalize patient care.
