Comparing Two Surveillance Approaches for People Who Have Received Treatment for HPV-associated Head and Neck Cancer and Show No Signs of Disease
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare standard surveillance with telemedicine surveillance (tele-surveillance) and find out which surveillance approach is best for people with HPV-associated head and neck cancer who have no evidence of disease after treatment. The researches will look at how the two approaches affect participants' quality of life, health outcomes, and expenses (for example, costs of routine visits and procedures). They will also determine doctors' and patients' satisfaction with tele-surveillance.

Interventions
Standard surveillance
Participant coming to the clinic for in-person follow-up visits and having routine endoscopy and cancer imaging procedures as needed
Telemedicine surveillance (tele-surveillance)
The tele-surveillance visit occurs annually after completion of therapy and consists of a phone call with or without video conferencing between the patient and the treatment team (physician, nurse, and/ or nurse practitioner). The use of video conferencing is strongly encouraged. Clinic visits, endoscopies, and imaging studies can be performed at the discretion of the treatment team for concerning patient symptoms.
