The prognostic impact of depression or depressive symptoms on patients with head and neck cancer: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
This systematic review and meta‐analysis sought to assess the extent to which pretreatment depression or depressive symptoms are related to prognosis in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC).
Factors associated with depression over time in head and neck cancer patients: A systematic review
TLDR
To systematically review the literature on factors associated with a clinical diagnosis of depression or symptoms of depression (depression) among head and neck cancer patients, a large number of patients were diagnosed with HNC.

The purpose of this study was to assess sexual function, affective disorders and self‐esteem in patients who were surgically treated for laryngeal cancer.
Validity and reliability of the MD Anderson dysphagia inventory in English and Chinese in head and neck cancer patients
TLDR
The aim was to adapt and examine the cultural validity and reliability of a swallowing‐related quality of life measure, the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), in English and Chinese, with head and neck cancer patients.
Dysphagia in the Aging Head and Neck Cancer Population
TLDR
The types of swallow impairment and side effects seen after head and neck cancer treatment are reviewed.
The impact of time after radiation treatment on dysphagia in patients with head and neck cancer enrolled in a swallowing therapy program
TLDR
A randomized control trial compared swallow exercises versus exercise plus neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy and found no overall difference in outcomes.
Depression as a predictor of postoperative functional performance status (PFPS) and treatment adherence in head and neck cancer patients: a prospective study
TLDR
The incidence and severity of PDS in HNC patients treated with surgery is high and patients with Moderate-Severe PDS have significantly decreased PFPS, increased narcotic use, decreased completion of adjuvant therapy, and a longer LOHS.
Effects of jaw exercise intervention timing on outcomes following oral and oropharyngeal cancer surgery: Pilot study
TLDR
Jaw range of motion exercise therapy may prevent or treat trismus in surgical patients and there is little literature regarding the optimal timing of exercise initiation.

The relationship between depressive symptoms and initial quality of life and function in head and neck cancer
TLDR
To determine the incidence of depression in head and neck cancer patients and the effect of depression on baseline head‐ and neck‐specific measures of quality of life and function, a large number of patients were diagnosed with depression.
Prediction of depression 6 months to 3 years after treatment of head and neck cancer
TLDR
The aim of this prospective study is to examine whether pretreatment variables can be used to predict depression up to 3 years after treatment with head and neck cancer.
Swallowing‐Related Quality of Life After Head and Neck Cancer Treatment
Objectives: To determine the role of treatment modality in swallowing outcome after head and neck cancer treatment and to identify potential risk factors for posttreatment dysphagia.
Factors associated with quality of life in outpatients with head and neck cancer 6 months after diagnosis
Identifying patients with head and neck cancer at greatest risk of poor health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) will facilitate screening for such patients and targeted interventions.
Prediction of depressive symptomatology after treatment of head and neck cancer: The influence of pre‐treatment physical and depressive symptoms, coping, and social support
TLDR
The aim of this prospective study is to examine whether pretreatment variables can be used to predict depression 6 and 12 months later.
Pretreatment factors predicting quality of life after treatment for head and neck cancer
Quality of life (QOL) has become an important issue in head and neck cancer. Explanation of factors predicting QOL after treatment has important implications for patient management.
Association between depression and survival or disease recurrence in patients with head and neck cancer enrolled in a depression prevention trial
TLDR
If depression portends a worse prognosis in patients with head and neck cancer, a retrospective chart analysis of subjects who participated in a randomized placebo‐controlled trial of citalopram for the prevention of depression during head and head cancer treatment is conducted.
Screening for depression in head and neck cancer
TLDR
This population of ambulatory head and neck cancer patients who have received radiation is at risk for depression because of the life‐threatening nature of the illness, and treatment‐induced oral morbidity.
