Study of questionnaires for radiation side effects in head and neck cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how different questionnaires can better measure the side effects of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. If you are a current or recent patient, your answers could help improve how doctors monitor and manage these side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You speak English as your primary language.
- You have been diagnosed with head and neck cancer, and you are either currently getting radiation to try to cure it, or you finished that radiation within the last 5 years.
- You are able to fill out a survey on your own, without help.
- You have not had radiation to any other part of the body (only to the head and neck).
