1 North Trent Cancer Network Fulwood House Sheffield S10 3TH Tel: Fax: Referral Guidelines, Head & Neck Cancer (including Thyroid), for Primary Care Practitioners 1
2 Introduction The NICE Referral guidelines for suspected cancer have been agreed and adopted as the Network Referral Guidelines. These guidelines in conjunction with Two-Week Wait referral Forms for Patients with Suspected Cancer, and the Cancer Services Directories, together these documents should provide Primary Care Practitioners with the necessary information regarding named local services, contact points and process of referral. The primary care practitioner should, on the basis of clinical examination and history, consider the following key facts: Does the patient have features suggestive of Head & Neck or Thyroid Cancer Does the patient have a neck lump? Is the lump clinically a thyroid lump? Are there other features of urgency about the lump? Are there other urgent features which might suggest Upper Aerodigestive Tract ( UAT) or Haematological malignancy? Does the patient have stridor? If there is no neck lump does the patient have features suggesting malignancy? The following paragraphs deal with the actions to be taken by referring practitioner 2
3 Primary Care Referral Thyroid see Figure 1 Patients with a thyroid lump and severe stridor should be referred immediately (same day) to secondary care (A+E or telephone referral to the local designated thyroid surgeon). Patients with a thyroid lump and risk factors/suspicious features of thyroid cancer should be referred urgently (2ww) to a designated Thyroid lump clinic, See guidance below. Patients without risk factors/suspicious features should be referred nonurgently to a designated Thyroid lump clinic (Network target 4ww). Thyroid function tests should be performed in all patients and the result forwarded, but initiation of other investigations by the primary care physician (particularly ultrasound scanning) is unnecessary, may cause delay in making a diagnosis of cancer, and is discouraged. Patients with thyroid swelling and abnormal thyroid function should be referred routinely to an Endocrinologist. For further information, see Section 1 of Thyroid subsection of Network Guidelines for Referral and Treatment of H+N/Thyroid Cancer. 3
