[Post-radiotherapy care and monitoring of head and neck cancers].

Radiotherapy performed to treat head and neck cancer results in considerable side effects and the patient must be provided with all the necessary information and regular monitoring. From the announcement of the diagnosis, during and after the radiotherapy, the nurse coordinator identifies and assesses the needs, expectations and concerns of the patients. Their role helps to simplify and personalise the care pathway, providing a liaison between the different professionals and offering support for the patient.
