A growing national health care initiative is gathering momentum to improve the quality of care for all Americans. Efforts to establish, monitor, and reward quality care have therefore been extensive. The Institute of Medicine has established that a large proportion of individuals do not receive recommended cancer care for their stage of disease, and that quality of care metrics should be established to decrease inappropriate care (overuse, under use, or wrong use). The American Head and Neck Society has been instrumental in developing quality measures for two of the most common head and neck cancers and in promoting adherence to these measures to improve quality of care for all patients.

“…Owing to the anatomical regions involved in this pathology, its treatment has an important impact on patient quality of life in aspects such as ventilation, swallowing, and phonation and the quality of life is therefore of key importance in the therapeutic algorithm. Therapeutic goals in head and neck cancer are as follows: (a) To prevent lesions resulting from procedures intended to aid the patient, (b) to offer efficacious services based on scientific knowledge and avoid therapeutic options without proven benefit, (c) to offer individualized treatment that respects and answers to the patient's preferences, needs, and values, (d) to offer opportune care, reducing waiting time and harmful delays, (e) to increase services' efficacy by optimizing the teams, supplies, ideas, and energy, and (f) to offer equitable care without personal, gender, ethnicity, geography, or socioeconomic characteristics having any influence 1 . With regard to therapeutics, it is important to specify that, at early clinical stages, single treatment either with surgery or radiotherapy (RT) is the cornerstone, and that in locally advanced disease, multidisciplinary treatment is necessary, and that surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiotherapists are therefore the professionals responsible for tumor control.…”

This is a review article intended to let the medical community know the procedures regarded as the gold standard in the multidisciplinary approach to patients with head and neck cancer. A review was carried out in PubMed looking for works published between January 2010 and December 2015. The search used the terms "interdisciplinary", "multidisciplinary", "management groups", "clinical rounds", "tumor boards", and "head and neck cancer" (n = 57). Subsequently, information related to specific experiences on head and neck was selected and analyzed (n = 29). Relevant information will be presented. In addition, the approach to these neoplasms in Mexico will be described based on the treatment guidelines used by Health Institutions with the largest numbers of patients with this pathology.

“…Las metas terapéuticas en el cáncer de cabeza y cuello son: (a) evitar lesiones derivadas de procedimientos destinados a ayudar al paciente, (b) ofrecer servicios eficaces basados en el conocimiento científico y evitar las opciones terapéu-ticas sin beneficio comprobado, (c) ofrecer un tratamiento individualizado que respete y responda a las preferencias, necesidades y valores del paciente, (d) ofrecer atención oportuna, reduciendo los tiempos de espera y las demoras perjudiciales, (e) aumentar la eficiencia del servicio, optimizando equipos, suministros, ideas y energía, y (f) ofrecer atención equitativa sin que las características personales, de género, etnicidad, geografía y situación económica social tengan influencia alguna 1 . En relación a la terapéutica, es importante precisar que en estadios clínicos tempranos el tratamiento único, ya sea con cirugía o con radioterapia (RT), es el pilar fundamental y que en enfermedad localmente avanzada el tratamiento multidisciplinario es necesario, por lo que cirujanos, mé-dicos oncólogos y radioterapeutas son los profesionales responsables del control tumoral.…”

La búsqueda empleó los téminos «interdisciplina-rio», «multidisciplinario», «grupos de tratamiento», «rondas clínicas», «juntas de tumores» y «cáncer de cabeza y cuello» (n = 57). Posteriormente, se seleccionó y analizó la información relacionada con experiencias específicas en cabeza y cuello (n = 29). La información relevante se muestra a continuación. Se añade el tratamiento de estas neoplasias en México según las guías terapéuticas de las Instituciones de Salud que tienen el mayor número de pacientes con esta patología.

Review was carried out in medical data bases, publications between January 2010 and December 2015. Keywords used were «interdisciplinary», «multidis-ciplinary», «management groups», «clinical rounds», «tumor boards», and " head and neck cancer» (n = 57). Information related to specific experiences in head and neck management was critically reviewed, and relevant information presented (n = 29). Head and neck cancer approach in Mexico is added, based on clinical guidelines from health institutions that have the greatest number of patients with this condition. PALABRAS CLAVE
