ABSTRACT Objectives Detection of local recurrences after (chemo)radiotherapy (C)RT for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is challenging due to post‐treatment mucosal changes. This study assessed the added diagnostic value of narrow band imaging (NBI) compared to white light imaging (WLI) during rigid endoscopy under general anaesthesia for ...
