Patients were assessed in 2 cohorts: incurable HNC and refraining from curative treatment. DC was measured using the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS). Other measures included patient, tumor, and palliative characteristics, and the EORTC QLQ\u2010C15\u2010PAL for QoL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 104 included patients, 72 patients had incurable HNC and 32 refrained from curative treatment. Clinically significant DC (score \u226525) was observed in 47 incurable HNC patients (65.3%) and 14 patients who refrained from curative treatment (43.8%), which was a significant difference. Tumor stage I\/II was significantly predictive of less DC in patients who refrained from curative treatment. Three QoL domains showed large differences for incurable HNC patients when differentiating for clinically significant DC, and 6 for those who refrained from treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides valuable insights into DC among palliative HNC patients.
