Impact in Head and Neck Oncology of Support by a Nurse in the Patient's Care Pathway
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
Head and neck cancers (HNC) constitute a significant global health burden, ranking fourth in terms of cancer incidence and fifth in terms of cancer-related mortality. The management of HNC requires a complex array of consultations, examinations, rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications, including addiction cessation. These cancers disproportionately affect economically disadvantaged, socially isolated individuals, and the elderly, resulting in disparities in healthcare access. Health coaching, an approach aimed at improving patients' health and quality of life by supporting behavior and lifestyle changes, has demonstrated effectiveness in various medical fields, including chronic diseases, medical oncology, and hematology. However, its application in head and neck cancer care remains limited, despite its potential benefits for this patient population.
