The patient with head and neck cancer requires the recording of a full history and physical examination and a complete evaluation of the local disease; the local findings are viewed against the general medical background. In order to arrive at the optimal treatment, the findings should be reviewed fully at an interdisciplinary conference. In the light of these discussions the responsible team should develop a treatment plan, in concert with the patient and his family whenever possible. The treatment selected should offer the patient the best opportunity for cure, expose him to the last morbidity and expense, and leave him with the most options in the event of a failure. In the early stages of the disease the tendency to overtreat must be avoided.
头颈癌患者需要记录完整的病史和进行体格检查，并对局部疾病进行全面评估；局部检查结果需结合整体医学背景来考量。为了制定出最佳治疗方案，应在多学科会议上全面回顾检查结果。根据这些讨论，责任团队应尽可能与患者及其家属共同制定治疗计划。所选择的治疗方法应给予患者最佳的治愈机会，使其遭受最小的发病率和费用，并在治疗失败时为其保留最多的选择。在疾病的早期阶段，必须避免过度治疗的倾向。
