This consensus document is not a rigid constraint on clinical practice, but a concept of good practice against which the needs of the individual patient should be considered. It therefore remains the responsibility of the individual clinician to interpret the application of the Clinical Management Pathway (CMP), taking into account local service constraints and the needs and wishes of the patient. It is not intended that these consensus documents are applied as rigid clinical protocols.For squamous cell cancer of unknown primary of the head and neck refer to Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer SACT (HNSCC) treatment options

The SACT options for squamous cell cancer of unknown primary of the head and neck are the same as the SACT options for head and neck squamous cell cancer where the primary tumour site has been identified.
