Cost Implications

Follow-up in head and neck cancer (HNC) is essential to detect and manage locoregional recurrence or metastases, or second primary tumours at the earliest opportunity. A variety of guidelines and investigations have been published in the literature. This has led to oncologists using different guidelines across the globe. The follow-up protocols may have unnecessary investigations that may cause morbidity or discomfort to the patient and may have significant cost implications. In this evidence-based review we have tried to evaluate and address important issues like the frequency of follow-up visits, clinical and imaging strategies adopted, and biochemical methods used for the purpose. This review summarises strategies for follow-up, imaging modalities and key investigations in the literature published between 1980 and 2009. A set of recommendations is also presented for cost-effective, simple yet efficient surveillance in patients with head and neck cancer.

Regional Disease

For the 40 per cent of patients with head and neck cancer who present with stage I and II disease either radiotherapy or surgery can be curative. The remaining 60 per cent have advanced loco-regional disease and even when treated with surgery and radiotherapy the five-year survival is less than 30 per cent. Most patients with relapse have loco-regional disease and second primary tumours have an incidence of three per cent a year.1 Current attempts to improve prognosis include the addition of chemotherapy, the use of brachytherapy and accelerated radiotherapy regimes such as continuous hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (CHART).
