Patients are transitioned to Survivorship once there is no evidence of disease for a specific time period dependent on the patient’s cancer site. These algorithms are not intended to replace the independent medical judgment of the physician in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine a patient's care. <br> This algorithm has been developed for MD Anderson using a multidisciplinary approach considering circumstances particular to MD Anderson’s specific patient population, services and structure, and clinical information. This is not intended to replace the independent medical or professional judgment of physicians or other health care providers in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine a patient's care. This algorithm should not be used to treat pregnant women. <br> DEVELOPMENT CREDITS This survivorship algorithm is based on majority expert opinion of the Head and Neck Survivorship workgroup at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. It was developed using a multidisciplinary approach that included input from the following: Core Development Team Leads Steven Frank, MD (Radiation Oncology) Charles Lu, MD (Thoracic Head &amp; Neck Medicine) Kristen Pytynia, MD, MPH (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Mark Zafereo, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Workgroup Members Moran Amit, MD, PhD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Susana Calle, MD (Neuroradiology) Richard Cardoso, DDS (Oral Oncology) Mark Chambers, DMD (Oral Oncology) Eduardo Diaz Jr., MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Bita Esmaeli, MD (Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery) Paul Gidley, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Ann Gillenwater, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Katherine Gilmore, MPH, BA (Cancer Survivorship) Ryan Goepfert, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Dan Gombos, MD (Ophthalmology) Ehab Hanna, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Amy Hessel, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Theresa Hofstede, DDS (Oral Oncology) Katherine Hutcheson, PhD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Thoa Kazantsev, MSN, RN, OCN ♦ Michael Kupferman, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Stephen Lai, MD, PhD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Miriam Lango, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Carol Lewis, MD, MPH (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Guojun Li, MD, PhD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery-Research) Anastasios Maniakas, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Jeffrey Myers, MD, PhD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Marc-Elie Nader, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Adegbenga Otun, DDS (Oral Oncology) Justine Robinson, MPAS (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Andrew Sikora, MD, PhD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Shirley Su, MBBS (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Rui Jennifer Wang, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery) Randal Weber, MD (Head &amp; Neck Surgery)
