This study is observing how a combination treatment using carboplatin, paclitaxel, and affects patients' emotional and physical wellbeing before surgery for head and neck cancer. Researchers want to understand whether this medication combination influences pain, anxiety, and depression differently than surgery alone. The goal is to help doctors better support patients emotionally during their cancer treatment.
Cancer treatment can be difficult both physically and emotionally, but doctors don't fully understand how different treatment approaches affect patients' mental health and pain levels. This study aims to fill that gap so future patients receive better support for anxiety, depression, and pain during their care.

You would be placed into one of two groups: either receiving the combination treatment (chemotherapy and immunotherapy) before surgery, or having surgery alone. Throughout your treatment, you would complete surveys and share information about your pain, anxiety, and depression levels at different time points. The study follows you as you go through your regular cancer care, tracking how you feel emotionally and physically along the way.
