Summary: Head and neck cancer is the seventh most common type of cancer worldwide, with the predominant risk factors being tobacco use, alcohol abuse, and oncogenic viruses. Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary approach with surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy, and is challenging due to site-specific and histology-specific variations.

Summary: Survivors of head and neck cancer may experience long-term consequences and require support in social, psychological, financial, and emotional aspects in addition to physical symptoms. This review provides recommendations for the long-term management and support needed for survivors of head and neck cancer in the European healthcare setting.

Summary: A significant percentage of head and neck cancer survivors discontinue care with their treating institution. Factors associated with discontinuation include demographic and oncologic factors, pointing to potential clinical and care delivery interventions.

Summary: This study found that only 19.3% of metastatic head and neck cancer patients received palliative care. Factors associated with palliative care utilization included more recent years of diagnosis, Northeast facility geography, and non-private insurances. Additionally, interventional palliative care and pain management only palliative care were associated with lower overall survival compared to no palliative care.

Summary: This study investigated the level of posttraumatic growth (PTG) among head and neck cancer patients within the first year of diagnosis, as well as the association between unmet supportive care needs and fear of cancer progression with PTG. The results showed that higher levels of unmet needs and fear of cancer progression predicted lower PTG in these patients.

Summary: This study evaluates the relationship between demographics, clinical characteristics, and posttreatment symptom burden with the subjective sense of flourishing among head and neck cancer survivors. The results suggest that late- and long-term side effects of treatment and financial hardship are associated with lower levels of flourishing.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a set of criteria and indicators to evaluate the quality of care for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Through a systematic literature review and a two-round Delphi method evaluation, a final set of 29 indicators were identified, covering diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and health outcomes of HNC patients.

Summary: The study found that textbook outcome (TO) can improve the quality of care for head and neck cancer patients and guide improvement processes. The proportion of TO varies among different treatment modalities, and two indicators (margins >5 mm and start treatment <30 days) have a significant impact on overall TO.

Summary: Head and neck cancer treatment can have negative impact on health-related quality of life and treatment efficacy. Exercise training may bring benefits to these patients. This study aimed to analyze the acute effects of treatment on patients and their preferences for exercise training. The findings suggest that an exercise training program can improve the physical fitness of patients and reduce toxicities.

Summary: The study reports the process, experience, and outcomes of developing a new QM set for ARHL in the absence of existing clinical practice guidelines on this topic. The MDG created 4 QMs for the diagnosis and treatment of AHRL, aiming to assist providers in enhancing quality of care. This effort represents a new stage in the AAO-HNSF's measure development to facilitate future efforts in evidence-based QM.

Summary: Despite the low incidence of HNC, GPs working in PHC were able to effectively differentiate potential HNC patients from the general patient group in most cases. Patients were typically referred to specialist care within five days of their initial appointment, with 88% of patients being referred within one month.

Summary: The majority of OHNS PS/QI projects (32.0%) focus on reporting complications or risk factors, followed by outcomes/quality measures (16.3%). Knowledge gaps for future research include healthcare disparities, multidisciplinary care, and the WHO category of studies translating evidence into safer care.

Summary: Electrochemotherapy, based on reversible electroporation and intracellular accumulation of hydrophilic drug molecules, is considered an effective and safe treatment for tumors, including mucosal cancer of the head and neck. Limited experience with ECT in mucosal HNC due to poor accessibility of tumors highlights the need for further research to confirm its potential as a treatment option in selected patients.

Summary: This study investigated the degree of perceived fatigue in individuals treated for head and neck cancer (HNCa). Results showed that more than half of the participants reported clinically significant levels of fatigue. There was an inverse relationship between fatigue and overall health-related quality of life, suggesting that as fatigue increases, perceived HRQOL decreases.

Summary: Vaccination-associated adenopathy is a common imaging finding after COVID-19 vaccination, which may be mistaken for malignant nodal involvement in patients with cancer. Routine imaging should be scheduled at least 6 weeks after vaccination, while clinically indicated imaging should not be delayed.
