Head and neck cancer patients' recollection of their clinical characteristics.

Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) are an important component of treatment evaluation. Typically they are completed by patients on paper, but through advances in technology such as mobile phone apps and websites, there is a great opportunity for electronic completion. It can be challenging, particularly at a regional or national level, to maintain accurate core clinical records on head and neck cancer (HNC) (baseline, recurrence, second primary, and further treatment), and these will influence PROs and the reporting of outcomes.

Loneliness and quality of life after head and neck cancer.

Loneliness is associated with a poor quality of life, mental illness, poor physical health, and premature mortality. Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are at risk of loneliness because of the effects of the disease and its treatment on important social interactive functions such as appearance, speech, facial expression, and eating. Patients treated for primary squamous cell HNC between January 2015 and December 2016 were surveyed in early 2019 using the University of Washington quality of life questionnaire version 4, the Cancer-related Loneliness Assessment Tool (C-LAT), and four nationally recommended indicator questions.
