Abstract
Background: Despite the growth in patient-centered care, multicenter prospective studies investigating satisfaction after skin cancer surgery are limited.
Objective: To assess trends in aesthetic satisfaction, symptoms, and quality of life over 1 year in facial skin cancer patients.
Methods: Patients with facial skin cancer who underwent surgery were enrolled at four hospitals across the United States. A total of 990 patients were included. The FACE-Q Skin Cancer questionnaire was administered before surgery, at two-week, six-month, and one-year intervals post-surgery.
Results: Patients reported increased satisfaction with FACE-Q scales over one year. Significant factors influencing outcomes included sex, age, history of facial skin cancer, cosmetic surgery, defect size, and cancer location. Males reported higher satisfaction with appearance (p=0.003) and scar (p<0.001), and reduced psychosocial distress (p<0.001). Larger defects were associated with greater psychosocial distress (p=0.037) and lower scar appraisal (p=0.008). Patients with nose skin cancer reported lower satisfaction with appearance and scars (p=0.026, p<0.001), higher psychosocial distress (p=0.004), and increased cancer worry (p=0.045). Patients with cancer near the eyes reported increased cancer worry (p=0.004). Reconstruction types did not influence satisfaction.
Conclusions: Clinical and patient characteristics significantly influence patient-reported outcomes, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches to optimize outcomes in dermatologic surgery.
