About

Cancers of the upper respiratory / digestive tract are a major public health problem, ranking 5th among the most common cancers. Surgery plays a central role in the recommended treatments for this type of pathology. The surgical procedure and its after-effects can be anxiety-provoking and have a major psychological, physical and social impact on patients over the long term.

Our institution's standard protocol is based on a pre-operative supportive care day hospital. The aim of this study is to compare our current care pathway with a more extensive interdisciplinary care pathway focused on patients' needs, in order to reduce anxiety and improve the quality of life of patients undergoing surgery for cancers of the upper respiratory / digestive tract.

Our aim is to use a prospective single-centre interventional study to assess the impact of adding three post-operative day hospitals to the existing care pathway in terms of reducing anxiety and improving the quality of life of patients undergoing surgery.
