The Impact of the Multi-Disciplinary Team Approach In Managing #Palliative Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Review by Karl Payne in BJSTR
Abstract
End of life care in head and neck cancer (HNC) is a complex process,
addressing symptomatic, functional and psychosocial needs. In order
to provide a high level of care the role of each member of the
palliative care multi-disciplinary team (MDT) is vital. This review
article discusses
end of life care in HNC and the palliative care pathway. We highlight
the contribution of each palliative care MDT member and the role of the
head and neck surgeon in end of life care.
