In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether Telemedicine follow-up is a satisfactory and safe alternative to traditional follow-up care for patients treated for early glottic (vocal cord) cancer, particularly those who live far from a specialized head and neck oncology centre (HNOC). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is patient satisfaction with Telemedicine follow-up comparable to standard care? Is the safety of Telemedicine follow-up (measured by recurrence rates, complications, and survival) comparable to in-person follow-up at an HNOC? Researchers will compare patients receiving Telemedicine follow-up in a nearby hospital with standard in-person follow-up at the HNOC, to see if remote evaluation of endoscopic procedures can maintain patient satisfaction and safety outcomes. Participants with a travel time of \> 45 minutes from a HNOC will: Be randomly assigne
