Abstract
Purpose: Cancer patients can experience significant distress during their cancer trajectory, which
impacts upon clinical outcomes and quality of life. Screening for distress using holistic assessments
can help identify and address unmet concerns/needs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
relationship between concerns and distress, and the impact of distress on clinic outcomes in post treatment
head and neck cancer patients.
