First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study aimed to find the best way to follow up with patients after they finish curative treatment for head and neck cancer. Researchers compared a personalized follow-up schedule, tailored to each patient's risk, with the standard one-size-fits-all approach. The goal was to see if the personalized plan could safely reduce unnecessary visits while still catching any cancer return early. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
