Trends in Incidence and Mortality of Head and Neck Cancer Subsites Among Elderly Patients: A Population-Based Analysis
These findings underscore that older patients are not a homogeneous group in terms of HNC incidence and survival. This study emphasizes age- and gender-specific strategies for prevention and management. Expanding HPV vaccination and improving early detection are crucial, particularly for high-risk groups like older women and those with HPV-related cancers. Tailored approaches could mitigate rising trends and improve survival outcomes.
