Less intensive vs more intensive follow‐up after primary cancer treatment

Overall survival · adult cancer survivors from the following cancer sites: breast, colorectal, head‐and‐neck, Hodgkin lymphoma, melanoma, non‐small cell lung…

Less intensive showed no clear difference in overall survival compared with more intensive follow‐up after primary cancer treatment (low certainty).

Less intensive vs more intensive follow‐up after primary cancer treatment

Time to detection of recurrence · adult cancer survivors from the following cancer sites: breast, colorectal, head‐and‐neck, Hodgkin lymphoma, melanoma, non‐small cell lung…

Less intensive probably leads to lower time to detection of recurrence compared with more intensive follow‐up after primary cancer treatment (moderate certainty).
