Cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract: assessment and management in people aged 16 or over (NG36)
This guideline covers assessing and managing cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract in people aged 16 or over. These are cancers of the airways of the head and neck, including the mouth, throat, larynx (voicebox) and sinuses. The guideline aims to reduce variation in practice and improve survival.
Evidence-based recommendations on electrical stimulation of the lower oesophageal sphincter for treating gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves applying low-energy electrical impulses to the sphincter to strengthen the muscle so that less reflux happens.
Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic gastrectomy for cancer. This involves partial or total removal of the stomach to take out the tumour and affected lymph nodes through small cuts in the abdomen (keyhole surgery).

Endoluminal gastroplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HTG661)
Evidence-based recommendations on endoluminal gastroplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves an endoscopic fastening device being inserted through the mouth and into the stomach, along with an endoscope for constant visualisation. The device is used to attach the fundus to the anterior and left lateral wall of the distal oesophagus slightly above the oesophagogastric junction.

Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HTG318)
Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves using heat from electrodes to change the tissues in the oesophagus, with the aim of reducing symptoms.
Photodynamic therapy for early-stage oesophageal cancer (HTG128)
Evidence-based recommendations on photodynamic therapy for early-stage oesophageal cancer. This involves injecting a photosensitising agent into the tumour which is then activated by a light to destroy the tumour cells.

Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for squamous dysplasia of the oesophagus (HTG346)
Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for squamous dysplasia of the oesophagus. This involves using radiofrequency (heat) energy to destroy the abnormal cells and to promote the growth of healthy squamous cells.
This guideline covers identifying children, young people and adults with symptoms that could be caused by cancer. It outlines appropriate investigations in primary care, and selection of people to refer for a specialist opinion. It aims to help people understand what to expect if they have symptoms that may suggest cancer.
