Number of patients with locoregional recurrence-free interval
This is assessed by imaging studies and/or physical exams at follow- up visits. This will include a diagnostic FDG PET/CT scan. CT and/or MRI of the primary site and neck will also be recommended. Patients will be classified as locoregional recurrence-free as long as there is no evidence of locoregional recurrence of disease by clinical evaluation, CT, MRI, and/or PET-CT according to the standard of care. For patients achieving complete response of disease, no further imaging study is necessary.
