As survivorship chances for cancer improve, the necessity to properly manage the quality of life post-treatment increases. Head and Neck Cancer is one of the most prevalent ones (being the seventh most common cancer in the world). In this paper we introduce the BD4QoL Ontology, which provides a comprehensive and integrated data model for HN cancer survivors.

Abstract
As survivorship chances for cancer improve, the necessity to properly manage the quality of life post-treatment increases. Head and Neck Cancer is one of the most prevalent ones (being the seventh most common cancer in the world). In this paper we introduce the BD4QoL Ontology, which provides a comprehensive and integrated data model for HN cancer survivors.
