Sponsor's own description

Treatment summary and survivorship care plans (TSSPs) are poorly studied in Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) patients, and given the high frequency of unmet needs, this patient population has potentially the most to benefit from the implementation of TSSPs. A preliminary feasibility randomized control trial (RCT) at London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP) of 18 patients with HNC evaluating the implementation of TSSPs, found that patients assigned to the intervention group had a 15% higher rate of physician implementation of survivorship care needs compared to the usual care group (40% versus 25%, respectively). Results of the pilot study indicated that successful execution of TSSPs and counselling sessions for HNC patients is feasible. In follow up to the initial feasibility trial, the present investigation seeks to execute a large-scale randomized controlled trial. Three hundred and four patients who were treated at the London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP) for HNC will be randomly assigned to either usual care or a survivorship care plan (TSSP) intervention (90 patients in each arm). The intervention will consist of the delivery of a TSSP and a motivational interviewing counseling session with a clinical nurse specialist tailored to the needs of this vulnerable cancer population. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the delivery of a TSSP during a one-on-one motivational interviewing counselling session with HNC survivors to determine whether the intervention results in improved implementation of recommendations for HNC survivors compared to usual care. Secondary study objectives will evaluate quality of life and satisfaction with care at 12 months post-intervention between the usual care and intervention group. Primary care providers of patients assigned to the intervention group will also be surveyed on the utility of the TSSP.
