Comprehensive Assessment of Head and Neck Cancer Survivors

NCT01222481 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Last updated 2012-03-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cancer survivorship has dramatically improved within the last four decades and a greater number of Americans are living after cancer diagnosis. An increase in the number of survivors has highlighted the need to investigate the quality of life experienced by these survivors. While Survivorship research has improved our understanding of the challenges faced by some cancer survivors, there is a paucity of research on the functional and cognitive health status of head and neck cancer survivors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional and cognitive changes that occur in head and neck cancer patients as a result of cancer treatment, in an attempt to increase our understanding of the complex interactions between cancer treatment, comorbid health ailments and quality of life.
