Disease and treatment characteristics do not predict symptom occurrence profiles in oncology outpatients receiving chemotherapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is associated with poor survival. Platinum-based chemotherapy is often a first-line treatment. Pemetrexed has shown single-agent activity in SCCHN and in combination with cisplatin for other tumors. This trial examined the efficacy ...
