Knowledge of individual symptom patterns (ISPs) and differences among patients during RT can provide vital information for evaluation and delivery of patient-tailored care.
Objective: The objectives of this study were to identify and describe ISPs and symptom duration, resolution, and peak severity among outpatients with oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancer.
