Head and neck survivorship care in the times of the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic
Open accessAbstract
With the arrival of the coronavirus disease (SARS‐CoV‐2) in the United States, care practice paradigms have drastically changed. Data from China suggest that the new virus poses additional risks as case fatality of patients with cancer was higher at 5.6% compared to 2.3% of the general population. There are three proposed major strategies to address care for patients with cancer in this SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic with postponing treatment for those with stable cancer, increasing personal protection provisions for patients with cancer, and increasing monitoring if a patient becomes infected with SARS‐CoV‐2. In this present commentary, we discuss the unique mental health challenges and burdens of patients with head and neck cancer in the times of the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic and approaches to mitigate these stressors through telemedicine to reduce future burdens to the patient and the health care system.

Restriction of health needs is an important problem affecting cancer survivors during the COVID-19 period.
“One of the important problems affecting cancer survivors during the COVID-19 period is the restriction of health needs.”
From Psychological Distress of Breast Cancer Survivors During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Related Factors: A Controlled Study. (2023) · cites this paper as [19]
The Introduction describes pandemic-related delays to some head and neck cancer treatments, and the Discussion says those delays can strain patients’ mental health and quality of life. This supports restricted access to care as a concern, but the paper focuses on head and neck cancer patients rather than cancer survivors generally. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredFear of relapse occurs in those who cannot go to their regular check-ups, and their psychological distress levels increase.
“Because fear of relapse occurs in those who cannot go to their regular check-ups, their psychological distress levels increase.[18,19]”
From Psychological Distress of Breast Cancer Survivors During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Related Factors: A Controlled Study. (2023) · cites this paper as [19]
The Introduction and Discussion say that delays in cancer treatment may worsen mental health in head and neck cancer patients. They do not link missed regular check-ups to fear of relapse or establish that this fear causes increased psychological distress; the paper discusses treatment delays, not missed surveillance visits. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
