This study evaluated the quality of life (QL) of patients who survived oral cancer more than 5 years after treatment, using the Short-Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36), and assessed the impact of factors influencing QL compared with the Spanish population norms. 60 oral cancer patients (65.41 years; 49 males) with cancer-free survival after surgery of >5 years were enrolled. The outcomes of every dimension of the SF-36 questionnaire in every patient were compared with those of a reference Spanish population. Females had statistically significant negative differences in the dimensions of role-emotional, social functioning and vitality. Patie
