Following TX, it is common for you to see an ENT monthly. So your ENT will be the doctor who would likely notice if there is a problem and recommend a course of action to you and the tumor board.
Most Community Cancer Centers are CoC accredited so they usually will have tumor boards and follow a multi-disciplinary team approach. Their major draw back is they MAY not see enough OC case to have a dedicated head an neck team with the level of desired expertise and equipment.
