Depends: Really depends on the stage of cancer, type of treatment you received, and whether you still smoke. The best thing that you can do to prevent it from coming back is eliminate tobacco use (all forms) and alcohol use. Also, keep all your followup appointment with your ENT doctor or head and neck cancer surgeon.
