“…Furthermore, negative PET/CT results within 6 months of the completion of RT offers significant prognostic value. Oliver et al [46] investigated PET/CT scanning following segmental resections and osteocutaneous free-flap reconstruction and analyzed the interpretability of PET/CT imaging with healing osteotomies and reconstruction hardware. Patient scans within 18 months of surgery were interpreted for malignancy.…”

No international consensus was achieved about the follow-up strategies. The value of post-therapeutic surveillance schedule following oral cancer treatment is generally not in dispute, although patient-initiated symptom-driven visits can be effective in identifying tumor recurrence for oral cancer patients. The range of appointment interval schemes tends to identify a progressive escalation of visit intervals such that there are more visits in the first year than in the second, and fewer yet during the third. Patients may fail to comply with their clinic visit structure. Most references agree that follow-up beyond the third year is unnecessary and may waste medical resources as well as the time of both patient and surgeon. There is no agreement as to the need for or interval of imaging studies.

“…The perfusion of the transferred iliac bone flap and the fibula flap was confirmed using bone scintigraphy in all cases but one 2 to 3 weeks after the reconstruction. [6][7][8] Student's t-test and the chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Statistical significance was defined as a p-value < 0.05.…”

“…We must also appreciate the profound importance of managing oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers so as to preserve both function and cosmetic appearance. We must remain alert to the possibility of adaptive intrinsic tissue remodeling and near-permanent deformity associated with significant superficial and deep tissue reconstructive surgery, bearing in mind the limitations imposed on image interpretation by surgical procedures such as composite mandibular resection and osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction, as illustrated by Oliver et al (3). It behooves us to comprehend the origin and progression of the pathologic process, appreciate various schemas for management workflow (taking into consideration the known aftereffects and undesirable complications of specific modes of treatment, as well as the options for reconstruction), and belabor the implications of the radiologic consultation report.…”
