Core Tip This study assessed the psychological state and body image disturbance (BID) in patients with head and neck cancer and examined associated determinants. Among 100 head and neck cancer patients, mild psychological distress and moderate BID were observed. Female sex, stage III-IV disease, multimodal therapy, unemployment, and coexisting anxiety or depression were associated with a higher risk of BID, with female sex and multimodal therapy exerting the most significant effects.
