Standard follow-up program for head and neck cancer patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial sets up a standard schedule for follow-up visits for people receiving curative (aimed at cure) or after-surgery radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. It may help you stay on track with regular check-ins and early management of side effects or signs of recurrence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are planning radiotherapy intended to cure the cancer, or you had surgery and will get postoperative radiotherapy
