Excerpt

This guideline covers assessing and managing cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract in people aged 16 and over. These are cancers of the airways of the head and neck, including the mouth, throat, larynx (voicebox) and sinuses. It aims to reduce variation in practice and improve survival.

In June 2018, we reviewed the evidence for treating advanced cancer and added recommendations on using FDG PET-CT scans to inform decisions about surgery after radical chemoradiotherapy.

Who is it for?:

  1. Healthcare professionals working in secondary and tertiary care

  2. People aged 16 and over with cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract, and their families and carers
