Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to validate a French version of the Nasal Reconstruction FACE-Q questionnaire for patients who have undergone nasal reconstruction or prosthetic rehabilitation after surgery for nasal skin cancer. The questionnaire evaluates appearance, quality of life, and possible side effects related to the reconstruction.

The investigators hypothesize that the validated French version will provide a reliable and standardized tool to assess patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life in this context.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Nasal skin cancers often require surgical excision that can result in significant tissue loss. Treatment may involve complex surgical reconstruction or, in some cases, prosthetic rehabilitation. These procedures may have major aesthetic, functional, and psychological consequences.

FACE-Q is an internationally recognized, patient-reported outcome instrument designed to assess satisfaction with appearance, health-related quality of life, and treatment-related adverse effects. However, FACE-Q was developed and validated in English and requires cultural and linguistic adaptation for reliable use in French-speaking populations.

This non-interventional, multicenter study aims to translate and validate the relevant FACE-Q Aesthetics scales in French for patients who have undergone nasal reconstruction or prosthetic rehabilitation after skin cancer. The selected domains address facial and nasal appearance, psychosocial well-being, social function, satisfaction with outcomes, and procedure-related adverse effects.

The expected outcome is to provide a standardized and validated French-language tool that reliably evaluates these patients' satisfaction and quality of life. Such a tool may be applied in clinical practice and future comparative research to improve patient care.
