Improving Outcomes in Head and Neck Cancers (November 2004)
NICE has issued guidance on the organisation of healthcare for adults with head and
neck cancers. The guidance recommends which healthcare professionals should
be involved in treatment and care, and the types of hospital or cancer centre that
are best suited to provide that healthcare.
The key recommendations are:
Cancer networks should decide which hospitals will diagnose, treat and care for patients
Multidisciplinary teams should be responsible for every patient
Clear systems should be in place for patients to be seen quickly by specialists
Support services should be available to all patients who need them
Local support teams should provide long-term support in the community
Information should be collected
More research should be done
