A Comprehensive Approach to Head and Neck Cancer Prehabilitation

We will assess whether prehabilitation intervention helps mitigate adverse symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression, suicidality, distress, nutritional status, dysphagia, sarcopenia, and well-being) on a sample of head and neck cancer patients. Subjects will attend a Prepare for Surgery Heal Faster session and meet with a physical therapist, registered dietician, speech language pathologist, and masters of social work at pre-treatment, 6-8 weeks post-treatment, and 5-6 months post-treatment completion.
