Abstract

Survivors of head and neck cancer can experience long-term consequences of the cancer and subsequent treatments even after the cancer has resolved. Increasingly clinicians are aware of the social, psychological, financial, and emotional impacts of these cancers, in addition to the support required for the physical symptoms. This review provides recommendations on the long-term management and support required for survivors of head and neck cancer in the European healthcare setting.
