Data analytics for predicting quality of life changes in head and neck cancer survivors: A scoping review

Abstract:

Head and neck cancer is the seventh most common cancer worldwide. The incidence of this cancer is increasing, but at the same time, the cancer-related mortality rate has decreased over time, leaving more head and neck cancer survivors. More emphasis is needed on quality-of-life research in the head and neck cancer field to improve their daily lives and reduce the disease and treatment response burden. To achieve this, we conducted a scoping review to find and learn which predictors and data analysis techniques have been used in previous studies. This work is undertaken in the context of the BD4QoL EU Research project.
