Performance status scale was used for perceptive assessment of organ function. Psychometric analysis was performed using SYSTAT v. 12 (Cranes software, Bengaluru).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 129 patients participated in the study with a median age of 67 years and the man-to-woman ratio of 100:29. The commonest sub-site reported was the oral cavity (61.24%) and the majority were in stage IV disease (69.76%). Ninety patients completed the questionnaire before being started on active oncology treatment at our center. 39 patients completed the questionnaire at pre-treatment and first follow-up. The questionnaire was filled on their own (module) by 32.55% of patients while 67.44% of patients required some kind of assistance (schedule). Internal consistency was moderate to high. The criterion and construct validities were acceptable. The questionnaire was sensitive to change with stage and time. No significant difference was observed in module versus schedule subgroup except for 2 out of 19 item-scales.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Marathi translation of EORTC QLQ-H&amp;N43 is a sensitive, reliable and valid tool when applied to patients of HNSCC.
