Electronic patient-reported outcomes and toxicities during radiotherapy for head-and-neck cancer

ConclusionsHead-and-neck RT, particularly CCRT, negatively impacts patients ' overall QOL, social activity, and fatigue, with frequent grade 3 AEs, weight loss, intravenous hydration, feeding tube placement, ED visits, and hospitalization. Real-time ePROs allow providers to monitor QOL at multiple time points during RT, potentially allowing early intervention to improve Q OL and mitigate AEs. (Source: Quality of Life Research)
