Authors' objectives:
Is there any difference between specialist nurse-led clinic and doctor-led clinic, for patients with breast cancer, or head and neck cancer, regarding detection of tumor recurrence, mortality, psychological morbidity, quality of life, patient satisfaction, and health economy?
Authors' recommendations:
Breast cancer: There is no difference between specialist nurse-led clinic and doctor-led clinic regarding mortality (GRADE ⊕), tumor recurrence rate (GRADE ⊕⊕), psychological morbidity (GRADE ⊕⊕⊕), or quality of life (GRADE ⊕⊕). The patient satisfaction is improved (GRADE ⊕⊕⊕). It is unclear if introduction of specialist nurse-led clinic leads to any cost reductions.
Head and neck cancer: There is no difference between specialist nurse-led clinic and doctor-led clinic regarding patient satisfaction and quality of life (GRADE ⊕).
