Abstract

The psychological implications of head and neck cancer surgery are vast, affecting not only the patient but also the family, the wider community, and the treating professionals as well. Whether the course of head and neck cancer results in recovery or death, it is possible to help people to preserve their self-respect and to give them a greater opportunity to control those aspects of their lives that are important to them.
