The Clinical, Epidemiological and Treatment Characteristics of Head and Neck Cancer Patients

The aim of our study is to prospectively collect information regarding (1) the demographic, lifestyle-related and clinical characteristics of patients with head and neck cancer and (2) the waiting times to diagnosis and therapy, and the 1-, 3- and 5-year survival of patients. We plan to gain insight into the characteristics and pathways of head and neck cancer patients in Baranya County, which can in turn help to identify factors that lead to improved or worse disease outcomes. (Thus, these factors can subsequently eliminated or lessened to improve the outcome of head and neck cancer patients. )
