What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the standard pre-operative supportive care with a more comprehensive interdisciplinary care pathway for patients undergoing surgery for cancers of the upper respiratory and digestive tract. The focus is on reducing anxiety and improving the quality of life through additional post-operative day hospital consultations. By assessing the impact of these interventions, the study seeks to address the psychological, physical, and social challenges faced by patients during their treatment journey.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients scheduled for surgery for VADS cancer who require at least one night of post-operative hospitalization and can understand French.

Not a fit: Patients with major cognitive disorders or significant anxiety disorders prior to cancer diagnosis may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce anxiety and enhance the quality of life for patients undergoing surgery for ENT cancers.

How similar studies have performed: While similar supportive care approaches have shown promise in improving patient outcomes, this specific intervention is novel and has not been extensively tested.
