Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The present article is an update of the guideline of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (SFORL) on the post-treatment follow-up of adult head and neck squamous cell carcinoma concerning screening for metastasis and metachronous esophageal and bronchial locations. METHODS: A multidisciplinary work-group was entrusted with a review of the literature on the above topic. Guidelines were drawn up, based on the articles retrieved and the work-group members' own experience. These were then reviewed by an editorial group independent of the work-group. A coordination meeting then finalized the guidelines. Guidelines were graded A, B, C or "expert opinion" according to decreasing level of evidence.
