Abstract
Patients with head and neck cancer experience significant treatment-related symptoms. Aging may predispose older patients to greater risk. We examined the association of age with symptom burden. Older patients may experience more symptom burden with swallowing, voice/speech, and nutrition. Nurses need to be especially aware of and monitor for these problems.Entities:
