Comparing Two Surveillance Approaches for People Who Have Received Treatment for HPV-associated Head and Neck Cancer and Show No Signs of Disease
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
About this trial
This is an interventional supportive care trial for Squamous Cell Carcinoma focused on measuring Tele-Surveillance, Remote Symptom Monitoring, 21-347, HPV-associated Head and Neck Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18
- ECOG 0-3
- Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) diagnosis of HPV associated squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx (tonsil, base of tongue, or oropharyngeal walls)
- No evidence of disease on post-treatment PET/CT within 9 months of completing radiation therapy. No evidence of disease is a consensus determination by the patient's radiation, medical, and surgical oncologist. If the first PET/CT is equivocal, then a second PET/CT can be obtained within 9 months of completing radiation therapy.
- Post-treatment diagnostic imaging with either CT or MRI (recommended but not required)
- Able to speak and read English fluently
- Able to provide informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients on clinical trials related to head and neck cancer that have protocol defined follow up activities
- Incomplete response or recurrent disease on post-treatment PET/CT
- Completion of radiation and chemotherapy more than 9 months ago

Standard surveillance
Telemedicine surveillance (tele-surveillance)
This surveillance approach involves the participant coming to the clinic for in-person follow-up visits and having routine endoscopy and cancer imaging procedures as needed
Tele-surveillance involves the participant staying at home while their healthcare providers follow their condition and give them the care they need. They can communicate with their healthcare team through face-to-face video conferencing on their desktop computer, laptop, smart phone, or tablet. They can also communicate with their healthcare team by phone.
