Systemic Therapies for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectivesTo discuss current clinical recommendations for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), to identify common toxicities associated with combined chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy alone, and describe strategies for management of the most common treatment-related toxicities.Data SourcesCurrent research, published literature, National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Oncology Nursing Society.ConclusionAdvances in options for systemic therapy for SCCHN have provided hope for patients with this disease. However, effective management of these patients requires a proactive and persistent multidisciplinary treatment approach, including toxicity management.Implications for Nursing PracticeCareful evaluation of each patient before initiating treatment with the goals of therapy reviewed by the multidisciplinary team, the patient, and the caregivers, will allow selection of the most appropriate treatment plan. The goals of therapy should provide guidance in balancing tumor response, toxicity (both acute and late effects), survival, and quality of life.
