Clinicians' Views of Patient-initiated Follow-up in Head and Neck Cancer: a Qualitative Study to Inform the PETNECK2 Trial

A. Lorenc et al.

Summary: Current follow-up for head and neck cancer (HNC) is ineffective and expensive. The PETNECK2 trial aims to compare patient-initiated follow-up (PIFU) with routine scheduled follow-up. In this study, UK clinicians' views about HNC follow-up and PIFU were explored. The results showed that clinicians acknowledged the limitations of current follow-up and supported the evaluation of PIFU. However, they expressed concerns about the suitability of PIFU for disengaged patients and its potential impact on patient anxiety and the detection of recurrence. Implementation issues, such as ensuring a reliable route back to clinic and managing workload burden, were also discussed.
