Abstract

The aim of the “Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Head and Neck Cancer - 2022 Update” is to review the latest evidence regarding head and neck cancer and to present the current standard approaches for diagnosis and treatment. These evidence-based recommendations were created with the consensus of the Guideline Committee, which is composed of otorhinolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons, together with radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, plastic surgeons, dentists, palliative care physicians, and rehabilitation physicians. These guidelines were created by the Clinical Practice Guideline Committee of the Japan Society for Head and Neck Cancer based on the “Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Guidelines 2018 Edition,” and the revised draft was compiled after evaluation by the Assessment Committee and public comments. The ‘Clinical questions and recommendations’ section consists of 13 categories, and 59 clinical questions are described in total. Here we describe 6 clinical questions specific to other sets of guidelines with recommendations and comments.
