Utility of a Focused Patient Reported Outcome Assessment in a Head and Neck Cancer Radiation Oncology Clinic

Head and neck (HN) radiotherapy (RT) is associated with a substantial acute and late toxicity burden. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are critical in understanding the patient's perception of RT toxicity and may provide valuable data points in both clinical trials and the clinic. We sought to evaluate the concordance between clinician rated CTCAE and PRO-CTCAE in HN cancer patients treated with RT.
