Head and neck cancer patients often encounter numerous symptoms and treatment side effects that can hinder their daily activities and diminish their quality of life. These challenges may involve difficulty swallowing and speaking, chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and emotional distress. Moreover, treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy can bring about additional complications such as lymphedema, hearing loss, and loss of taste or smell. While these examples represent only a portion of the difficulties patients face, they underscore the importance of comprehensive, collaborative care involving a team of healthcare professionals.
