Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of Arabic patient-reported outcome measures during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer is to test the patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) tools. PROM tools are not validated cross-culturally in Arabic-speaking patient populations, which limits their use in our clinical setting. Validation of these PROM tools will allow clinicians to identify the concerns related to our patient population and measure the outcome of our interventions. Main objectives are:

* To further validate (cross-culture) the PROM instruments related to head and neck cancer (HNC) in Arabic patients.
* To investigate the prevalence and severity of the patient-reported concerns and their relevance with demographics and clinical characteristics.

The participants will be given tasks to complete 6 tools survey before, during, and after radiotherapy.
