Posttraumatic growth, unmet needs, fear of progression in HNC patients

The
assessment of supportive care needs and fear of cancer progression are
important variables to be considered when evaluating the psychological aspects
of cancer patients. However, data on how these variables affect posttraumatic
growth (PTG) are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the level of PTG
among head and neck cancer (HNC) patients within the first year of cancer
diagnosis and to determine the association between unmet supportive care needs,
fear of cancer progression, and the level of PTG.
