Oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas in patients with no identified risk factors: Feeling like an outsider.

Objectives: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) mainly affect smokers and drinkers. However, oral cavity squamous cell cancers (OCSCCs) are increasingly affecting patients with no identified risk factors (NIRFs). This study aimed at characterising their experience of the disease.

The quality of life of long-term remission patients in the Vivrovaire study: The impact of ovarian cancer on patient trajectory.

In this study, we explored how ovarian cancer (OC) survivors give meaning to their cancer experience and how the latter has an impact on their quality of life (QOL). The sample comprised 16 OC patients participating in the French study Vivrovaire in Lyon who were in long-term remission. We employed a qualitative approach, based on semi-structured interviews.
