Pre-treatment psychoeducational intervention and outcomes in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy
2021
Overview
BackgroundTo investigate the relationship between attendance to a pre-treatment psychoeducational intervention (prehab) with treatment outcomes and toxicities in patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancers (HNCs).MethodsPatients were included from prehab inception in 2013 to 2017, comparing overall survival (OS), locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS), and locoregional recurrence (LRR) between prehab attendees (PA) and non-attendees (PNA). Multivariable analysis was performed for OS and LRFS.ResultsAmong 864 PA and 1128 PNA, 2-year OS was 88% vs 80% (p < 0.001), and LRFS was 84% vs 75% (p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis (MVA), OS and LRFS were independently and unfavourably associated with PNA. The PA cohort had a lower frequency of a “rocky treatment course” compared with the PNA cohort (52/150, 35% vs 71/150, 47%; p = 0.034).ConclusionsPrehab at our institution is associated with improved long-term oncologic outcomes. Prospective data is needed to better understand this association.
