The study aims to explore the impact of biopsychosocial profiles on the quality of life (QoL) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC).
Assessment of psychological distress and medical burden in HNC patients
Longitudinal analysis of quality of life over time
Identification of psychosocial risk factors for targeted interventions
Psychological distress significantly impacts quality of life more than medical burden
Early identification of psychosocial factors is crucial for recovery
