Core Tip |
Patients receiving chemoradiotherpay for head and neck cancer have significant side effects which can interfere with treatment and negatively affect quality of life. While narcotics are often required to treat mucositis pain, adjuvant medication and preventative measures are necessary. Further research in this area is imperative. Dietitians should be readily available for consultation as proper nutrition is crucial. Treatment for nausea and vomiting in the delayed setting as well as for patients who are more sensitive to chemotherapy, needs further attention. Exercise can successfully treat and prevent depression and fatigue. Close monitoring by a multidisciplinary team can ensure adequate symptom management.
