Summary
• Recurrence occurs within 2 years of definitive therapy.
• Distant failure is more common than locoregional
recurrence
• MDCT will identify a majority of relapse; PET-CT should
be considered if conventional CT is negative.
• Patients who are asymptomatic at time of relapse have
better prognosis – therefore imaging surveillance is
recommended
