Prospective Predictors of Poor Emotional Functioning in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma

Key Points

To identify modifiable factors predicting poor emotional functioning in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
Observed patients undergoing treatment for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC)
Assessed exhaustion, head and neck discomfort, and body image concerns
Evaluated the impact of identified factors on future emotional functioning
Exhaustion, head and neck discomfort, and body image concerns were linked to future emotional functioning issues
These factors are modifiable and can be targeted in interventional programs

Abstract

Exhaustion, head and neck discomfort, and body image concerns emerged as modifiable factors that predict future impaired EF in patients with DTC undergoing treatment. These factors could be targeted in prehabilitation, rehabilitation or other interventional programs to potentially improve or preserve patients' EF.
