Follow-up of head and neck cancers after treatment is usually done by specialists every 2 to 3 month during an indeterminate period. The aim of this follow up is to detect a recurrence or a complication due to the treatment. Xerostomia, endolaryngeal and cutaneous modifications are the most frequent sequelae of irradiation. Major surgery of the larynx require a speech rehabilitation which gives correct results in 70% of the cases. Professional rehabilitation is possible for few patients: only 50% of the patients who had jobs before treatment were able to go back to work. The return to work was more often seen among civil servants, and workers than among craftsmen. Laryngectomised people resume their work less often than other head and neck cancer patients. There is no problem with social rehabilitation.
