Abstract
Cancer of the head and neck is common. Both the disease and its treatment are associated with considerable psychological distress. Here, I review factors that affect psychological adjustment, describe screening instruments that are used to measure anxiety and depression in cancer, and make recommendations for the early detection, management, and reduction of the distress associated with cancer of the head and neck.Entities:
