Participants travelling \u2265\u20093\u2009h (vs. &lt;\u20091\u2009h) reported higher needs related to healthcare staff, hospital facilities and services, and practical support, while those with oesophageal cancer (vs. head and neck cancer) reported higher needs related to healthcare staff, hospital facilities and services, and social\/religious\/spiritual support. Religious affiliation was associated with higher social\/religious\/spiritual support needs, whereas being married was associated with lower needs for hospital facilities and services.
