Novel Survivorship Paradigms in Head/Neck Cancer.

Long-term care for head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors is complex. Despite an improvement in survival and the evolution of treatment paradigms (de-escalation, targeted therapy), notably in the context of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancers, HNC survivors still experience a wide range of side effects and needs, which impact their functionality, quality of life, survival and require concerted, coordinated survivorship care. In this review, we perform an overview of existing HNC survivorship recommendations within the context of novel evidence, our current understanding of survivorship care, and incorporate them into the Nekhluydov Survivorship Care Framework.

Methods: We sent an anonymous survey to e-mail subscribers of a nationwide breast cancer-specific philanthropic organization in July 2023 asking about financial toxicity screening preferences.
