Electronic Health in the Palliative Care Pathway for Patients With Head and Neck Cancer.

Importance: The Expert Center of Palliative Care for head and neck cancer offers structural attention to patients' complex physical and psychosocial care needs. Patients are offered remote care, including digital monitoring using patient-reported outcome measures, to enable them to stay as long as possible in their trusted home environment. There is limited literature on qualitative feedback and patient-reported experiences with palliative head and neck cancer care, especially for remote care.

Prognostic model for overall survival of head and neck cancer patients in the palliative phase.

Background: Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) enter the palliative phase when cure is no longer possible or when they refuse curative treatment. The mean survival is five months, with a range of days until years. Realistic prognostic counseling enables patients to make well-considered end-of-life choices.
