Follow-up after treatment

You will need regular, hospital check-ups and possibly scans and X-rays once your treatment has ended. These check-ups will continue for several years. If you have unusual problems or notice any new symptoms between your check-ups, tell your doctor immediately.

Once your treatment is over, your doctor will give you useful advice on how to keep healthy and adjust to life after head and neck cancer. In particular, you should restrict your alcohol intake and stop smoking.
