Head and neck cancer mortality in the United States: Regional differences in hospice use and place of death
Patients in moderately urban areas were reported to have the greatest use of hospice services and at-home death; patients in the HHS Region representing Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington were also found to have the highest rates of use. These differences in hospice care should be considered when clinicians counsel patients on their end-of-life options.
