Summary
This trial is exploring the financial toxicity of cancer care for patients during definitive treatment of head and neck cancer.
Who is the study for?
This study is for adult patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) who are set to undergo radiation therapy, with or without chemotherapy, or surgical resection. Participants must be able to read and write in English and provide informed consent. Those with metastatic disease, recurrent disease, or previous radiation treatments not approved by the principal investigator cannot join.
What is being tested?
The PaRTNer study is examining the financial burden of HNC treatment on patients. It uses questionnaires to measure out-of-pocket costs and how these expenses affect quality of life and decisions about treatment from the patient's viewpoint during definitive cancer care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves completing surveys rather than testing a medical intervention, there are no direct physical side effects associated with participating in this research.
