Interventions were categorized into domains of the Quality of Cancer Survivorship Care Framework to characterize the scope and quality of interventions.<h4>Results</h4>We identified 28 studies for inclusion: 13 randomized and 15 non-randomized. Most targeted surveillance/management of physical effects (n = 24) including 13 that also targeted psychosocial effects. Four studies addressed prevention/surveillance for recurrence/new cancers, one addressed health promotion/disease prevention, and one addressed chronic medical conditions. Most studies (n = 27) had medium-high risk of bias.<h4>Conclusions</h4>There are few high-quality studies addressing HNC survivorship. Future rigorously designed studies should address broader areas of care, including chronic disease management and health promotion/disease prevention.Head & neck2579-2599https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9796901biostudies-literatureInterventions for head and neck cancer survivors: Systematic review.PMC9796901Nekhlyudov LVenchiarutti RDruce PMcNamara MSalz TMilley KWong JMargalit DNChima SfalseInterventions for head and neck cancer survivors: Systematic review.<h4>Background</h4>Interventions for head/neck cancer (HNC) survivors may not address their cancer-related and general health needs.<h4>Methods</h4>Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guided this systematic review of studies from 2000 to 2021 of interventions targeting cancer survivors treated with curative-intent, using MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, and PsycINFO.
