The Self-Perpetuating Cycle of Psychological Distress and Clinical Outcomes in Head and Neck Oncology
Overview
This narrative synthesis reviews 32 studies on psychological distress in head and neck cancer, proposing a multifactorial model that links physical impairments to reduced treatment adherence and increased mortality risk. The resource outlines distress prevalence rates and predictors, while noting potential benefits of psychosocial interventions like cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety reduction. It is intended for clinicians and researchers seeking an overview of the bidirectional relationship between psychological burden and clinical outcomes in this patient population.
