This pilot research trial studies patient preferences in making treatment decisions in patients with stage I-IVA oropharyngeal cancer. Questionnaires that measure patient priorities before and after treatment may improve the ability to plan for better quality of life in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the stability of Head and Neck Priorities Scale (HNPS) ranking between pre- and post-treatment assessments.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Use patient-interviews to refine and modify the HNPS for use in a larger scale trial.
II. Pilot the Head and Neck Patient Outcomes Survey (HNPOS) as a potential tool to identify priorities most important to quality-of-life outcomes.
III. Use the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Head and Neck (FACT-H&N) and EurolQoL-5D to determine the validity of the HNPOS.
OUTLINE:
Patients participate in a 45-minute interview comprising assessment of priorities and quality of life at baseline, 1, 6, and 12 months.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Stability of HNPS ranking between pre- and post-treatment assessments | Proportion of patients for whom the domain was considered stable calculated. Exact binomial tests will be used to test whether each proportion is greater than 50%. | Up to 12 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Reliability of HNPPQ scale, in terms of test-retest and internal consistency | Weighted kappa coefficients will serve as the measure of agreement between the two replicates. Cronbach's alpha will be used to assess internal consistency. | Up to 12 months |

Nine HNPOS items will be compared to corresponding items on the FACT H&N scale. For each item, Kendall's tau-c will be computed for a measure of association suitable for contingency analyses of two ordinal variables. |
