Follow-up and management of head and neck cancer patients during the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) disease pandemic	2020-05-15		.txt	text/plain	3345	158	45	title: Follow-up and management of head and neck cancer patients during the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) disease pandemic These scenarios would be considered high-risk for SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and the HCW consulting the patient would require full personal protection equipment (PPE) consisting of N95 mask, surgical gowns, gloves, and goggles/face shields 16 . Following the completion of treatment any patient with direct contact with a SARS-CoV-2 infected individual or who has personally tested positive or has symptoms of COVID-19 should not be seen in an oncology clinic for a follow-up visit. When it is challenging to distinguish between post-treatment edema and residual tumor on imaging, a detailed physical exam including endoscopy may be required, and as aforementioned, full PPE is required to protect the HCW from transmission of SARS-CoV-2 through aerosolization during NPL. Herein, we focused on the impact of this pandemic on the management of head and neck cancer patients who are undergoing or have completed radiation treatment.	./cache/cord-277498-hdhq99k2.txt	./txt/cord-277498-hdhq99k2.txt
