Descriptive epidemiology of the head and neck cancers in old patients.
Frontiers in oncology（2023）
Abstract
The high variability in the H and N cancer incidence around the world is due to the distribution of the major risk factors which for the elderly are mainly alcohol and smoking. The reasons for low survival in the elderly are most likely due to the complexity of treatment, the late arrival of patients at diagnosis, and the difficult access to specialized centers.
